Relationships

(antiphilus.)

by Andrew Lang 1844–1912

From Grass of Parnassus

Relationships

I KNEW it in your childish grace
The dawning of Desire,
‘Who lives,’ I said, ‘will see that face
Set all the world on fire!’
They mocked; but Time has brought to pass
The saying over-true;
Prophet and martyr now, alas,
I burn for Truth,—and you!
