i said to love
“it is not now as in old days
when men adored thee and thy ways
all else above;
named thee the boy, the bright, the one
who spread a heaven beneath the sun,”
i said to love

i said to him
“we now know more of thee than then;
we were but weak in judgment when
with hearts abrim
we clamoured thee that thou would’st please
inflict on us thine agonies,”
i said to him

i said to love
“thou art not young, thou art not fair
no elfin darts, no cherub air
nor swan, nor dove
are thine; but featurеs pitiless
and iron daggers of distress,”
i said to lovе

“depart then, love!
man’s race shall perish, threatenest thou
without thy kindling coupling*vow?
the age to come the man of now
know nothing of?
we fear not such a threat from thee;
we are too old in apathy!
mankind shall cease.. *
so let it be,”
i said to love
