Ho ye that thirst beside the running stream	A
Love is a running stream whose waters flow	B
Upon the earth and who would drink thereof	C
Must bend him earthwards There was such an one	D
Who lay upon his belly in the mire	E
And was not ashamed Because he deemed it well	F
That love which is the strength of weaker things	G
Should make of Man a child And while he lay	H
And summer winds were drowsing in his ears	I
The river of his love went rippling by	J
	-
And thus he lived and thus he might have died	K
Deaf to his fellows' scorn and held it gain	L
To lie a living corse unburied there	M
Among the reeds of Time and hidden in	N
From the world's stare But Fate was watching him	O
With envious eyes and he had merited	P
In truth much retribution at her hand	Q
Alas that I should have such spite to tell	F
She took her vengeance at the fountain head	R
And made a desolation in the land	Q
	-
And how he dreamed and half outwitted Fate	S
Because his mind was single in his love	C
And how she took the pitiless winds in pay	H
And set a wrack of clouds upon their back	T
And how because she could not master him	O
She turned the waters of his love away	H
And how that man arose up from his lair	M
Foul with the ooze and with a beard grown grey	H
Through his long shame and how he turned and fled	R
From the sun's face to dwell among the tombs	U
	-
I would relate And if in simple words	V
How some have learned the nakedness of truth	W
The carelessness of God Man's cruelty	X
And their own folly it would be a tale	Y
To chill the lust of Youth and bend the knees	Z
Of Manhood's pride before the strength of Fate	S
Which conquers all And this I think would be	X
The sum of human tragedy on Earth	A2
But who am I to stay the wings of Death	B2
And pluck a feather out and write such things	G
