Triolet No 2

Where have all the gentlemen gone?
Worldly thoughts have led them astray -
Desiring neither love nor brawn.
Where? Have all the gentlemen gone?
Tho’ my days are short and nights are long -
I hold my breath, take note and pray:
Where have all the gentlemen gone?
Worldly thoughts have led them astray.
