A
whitebeard
stood hushed on the pathway, the flesh
of his face as dried grass,
And in folds round his eyes and his mouth, he sad
as a child without milk;
And the dreams of the islands were gone, and I knew how
men sorrow and pass,
And their hound, and their horse, and their love, and their eyes
that glimmer like silk.
