Time & Brevity
A Ballad of Fair Ladies in Revolt: XLII
From Poems — Volume 2
Time & Brevity
—We have won a champion, sisters, and a sage!
—Ladies, you win a guest to a good feast!
—Sir spokesman, sneers are weakness veiling rage.
—Of weakness, and wise men, you have the key.
—Then are there fresher mornings mounting East
Than ever yet have dawned, sing we!
