Though Dynasties pass.
With an old horse that stumbles and nods
Come whispering by;
In a slow silent walk,
War's annals will fade into night
Ere their story die.
Only thin smoke without flame
Half asleep as they stalk.
From the heaps of couch grass:
Only a man harrowing clods
Yet this will go onward the same
Yonder a maid and her wight
