She had been beautiful in that old way
That’s all but gone; for the proud heart is gone,
And the fool heart of the counting-house fears all
But soft beauty and indolent desire.”

In what I do or say
They’d sooner leave their cosseting
To hear a jackass bray....”

Alone, important and wise,
And lifts to the changing moon
His changing eyes.”
