Excerpt from Songs in Exile, and Other Poems

With a kiss and a smile for me, And a word in her lips of love, And my soul at her face took flame, As the heavens took flame above; And the song that I sang was of Life; Life that is glad in the sun, And mourns not the undone and done; The glorious glow of its strife, Its laughter and longing and tears, Its battle that never is won, Its love and its hate and its lust; Life making mirth of the years That tread it to death in the dust.

But e'en as I sang, in mid-song Came a change o'er the tune and the lay, And the wild notes and loud died away.
