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?

When I ran the needle in my hand
While washing the baby's things,
And died from lock-jaw, an ironical death.

She took my life by hours,
She drained me like a fevered moon
That saps the spinning world.

For the soul of the hawk,
That I may offer him the friendship
Of one whom life wounded and caged.

And saw through the lie,
God drove him out of Eden to keep him from taking
The fruit of immortal life.
