I	A
	-
I say I am quite done	B
quite done with this	C
you smile your calm	D
inveterate chill smile	E
	-
and light steps back	F
intolerate loveliness	C
smiles at the ranks	C
of obdurate bitterness	C
	-
you smile with keen	G
chiselled and frigid lips	C
it seems no evil	H
ever could have been	I
	-
so on the Parthenon	J
like splendour keeps	C
peril at bay	K
facing inviolate dawn	L
	-
II	A
	-
Men cannot mar you	M
women cannot break	N
your innate strength	O
your stark autocracy	C
	-
still I will make no plea	C
for this slight verse	C
it outlines simply	C
Love's authority	C
	-
but pardon this	C
that in these luminous days	C
I re invoke the dark	P
to frame your praise	C
	-
as one to make a bright room	Q
seem more bright	R
stares out deliberate	S
into Cerberus night	R
	-
III	A
	-
Sometimes I chide the manner of your dress	C
I want all men to see the grace of you	M
I mock your pace your body's insolence	C
thinking that all should praise while obstinate	S
you still insist your beauty's gold is clay	K
	-
I chide you that you stand not forth entire	T
set on bright plinth intolerably desired	U
yet I in turn will cheat will thwart your whim	V
I'll break my thought weld it to fit your measure	T
as one who sets a statue on a height	R
to show where Hyacinth or Pan have been	I
	-
IV	-
	-
When blight lay and the Persian like a scar	W
and death was heavy on Athens plague and war	X
you gave me this bright garment and this ring	Y
	-
I who still kept of wisdom's meagre store	X
a few rare songs and some philosophising	Y
offered you these for I had nothing more	X
	-
that which both Athens and the Persian mocked	Z
you took as a cold famished bird takes grain	A2
blown inland through darkness and withering rain	A2
	-
V	-
	-
Would you prefer myrrh flower or cyclamen	A2
I have them I could spread them out again	A2
but now for this stark moment while Love breaths	C
his tentative breath as dying yet still lives	C
wait as that time you waited tense with me	-
	-
others shall love when Athens lives again	A2
you waited in the agonies of war	X
others will praise when all the host proclaims	C
Athens the perfect you when Athens lost	B2
stood by her when the dark perfidious host	C2
turned it was you who pled for her with death	D2
	-
VI	-
	-
Stars wheel in purple yours is not so rare	E2
as Hesperus nor yet so great a star	W
as bright Aldebaran or Sirius	C
nor yet the stained and brilliant one of War	X
	-
stars turn in purple glorious to the sight	R
yours is not gracious as the Pleiads' are	W
nor as Orion's sapphires luminous	C
yet disenchanted cold imperious face	C
when all the others blighted reel and fall	F2
your star steel set keeps lone and frigid tryst	G2
to freighted ships baffled in wind and blast	H2
	-
VII	-
	-
None watched with me	-
who watched his fluttering breath	D2
none brought white roses	C
none the roses red	I2
	-
many had loved	J2
had sought him luminous	C
when he was blithe	K2
and purple draped his bed	I2
	-
yet when Love fell	L2
struck down with plague and war	X
you lay white myrrh buds	C
on the darkened lintel	H
	-
you fastened blossom	M2
to the smitten sill	N2
let Zeus record this	C
daring Death to mar	W
