Ere the season died a-cold
Borne upon a zephyr’s shoulder
Irose through the aureate sky”

The devotee proffers a knee to his Lord,
Some back a mare thrown from a thoroughbred,
Troy backed its Helen, Troy died and adored;
Great nations blossom above,
A slave bows down to a slave.”

Night and day on me she cries;
And I am weary of the skies,
For her sake that died for me.”
