Song / W.J. McEldowney
Seas helped us once to fly,
Seeking the Trojan wall;
If the last man should die,
Tides still would rise and fall.
How short were ten long years,
After the last was spent!
How long till grass appears
Over the earthquake’s rent?
Greeks fought and took away
You whom I’ll find again;
This rain that fell to-day
Will be to-morrows rain.
~ Book 7 : a miscellany. The Caxton Press, February 1946, p28.
