By that estranged young soul
Whose betrayal of me I had concealed
By marrying the old man.

Who frowned not on the cup but loathed the rule
Democracy achieved thereby, the freedom
And lust of life it symbolized.

And the ringing of church bells,
And the blood of old men and young men,
Martyred for the truth they saw
With eyes made bright by faith in God,
Accomplished the world's great reformations?

I, lover of Nature, beloved for my love of her,
Held such converse afar with the great
Who knew her better than I.

Almost like a guinea hen's!
