IN MEMORY OF EVA GORE BOOTH AND CON MARKIEWICZA
-
THE light of evening LissadellB
Great windows open to the southC
Two girls in silk kimonos bothD
Beautiful one a gazelleB
But a raving autumn shearsE
Blossom from the summer's wreathF
The older is condemned to deathG
Pardoned drags out lonely yearsH
Conspiring among the ignorantI
I know not what the younger dreamsJ
Some vague Utopia and she seemsJ
When withered old and skeleton gauntK
An image of such politicsL
Many a time I think to seekM
One or the other out and speakM
Of that old Georgian mansion mixL
pictures of the mind recallB
That table and the talk of youthN
Two girls in silk kimonos bothD
Beautiful one a gazelleB
Dear shadows now you know it allB
All the folly of a fightO
With a common wrong or rightO
The innocent and the beautifulB
Have no enemy but timeP
Arise and bid me strike a matchQ
And strike another till time catchQ
Should the conflagration climbP
Run till all the sages knowR
We the great gazebo builtS
They convicted us of guiltS
Bid me strike a match and blowR
