Young Mans Song

 'She will change,' I cried.

'Into a withered crone.
'
The heart in my side,
That so still had lain,
In noble rage replied
And beat upon the bone:

'Uplift those eyes and throw
Those glances unafraid:
She would as bravely show
Did all the fabric fade;
No withered crone I saw
Before the world was made.
'

Abashed by that report,
For the heart cannot lie,
I knelt in the dirt.

And all shall bend the knee
To my offended heart
Until it pardon me.
