To drive the shadows back;
Prolong the talk on this or that excuse....”

And flames laid waste our world,
All that was left me was a little garden
And thou within it, my beloved, my comrade.”

Fears not undermining days,
Grows by decays,
And, by the famous might that lurks
In reaction and recoil,
Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.”
