Prophecy
1 do believe, however we may end, Chaotic, or in quietness and dust, Laid deep along old shelves of earth, the friend. By friend, forgetting loveliness and lust—■ The time shall come when We, With pride afresh - t Shall upright stand as shafts of sapling pine, With sWeetly-lacing bones and virgin flesh. With bright hair tangled in the clouds' design; And there, so youthful and untrammelled, Will Look out beyond the jealous sWord of space, To read, with human eyes that Warmly fill, Life's poetry Written in each other's face. —Paula Hanger.
