Excerpt from Holiday and Other Poems: With a Note on Poetry
Holiday
Lithe and listen, gentlemen:
Other knight of sword or pen
Shall not, while the planets shine,
Spend a holiday like mine: -
Fate and I, we played at dice:
Thrice I won and lost the main;
Thrice I died the death, and thrice
By my will I lived again.
First, a woman broke my heart,
As a careless woman can,
Ere the aureoles depart
From the woman and the man.
