To Eros (W​.​O)

lyrics

In that I loved you, Love, I worshipped you.
In that I worshipped well, I sacrificed.
All of most Worth I bound and burnt and slew:
Old peaceful lives; frail flowers; firm friends; and christ.

I slew all falser loves; I slew all true,
That I might nothing love but your truth, boy.
Fair faim I cast away as bridegrooms do
Their wedding garments in their haste of joy.

But when I fell upon your sandalled feet,
you laughed; you loosed away my lips; you rose.
I heared the singing of your wings' retreat;
Far-flown, I watched you flush the olympian snows,

Beyond my hoping. starkly I returned
To stare upon the ash of all I burned.
