To harsh and clamorous swords, and sound of war?
One speaks unto me words that would be sweet,
And some strange force, within me or around,
And somewhere there is fever in the halls,
To vex the cool far hollows of the hills.
The foolish folk crowd round me, and they cry,
Are little to lose, if they may keep me here,
Among the streets bereft, and helpless shrines.

The first spring days, the sounds and scents thereof;
So brief, so bright thy life that gaily met
That know the heart of shameful loves, or pure;
A fevered tribe of ghosts funereal,
List, all that deem the glory of the rose
The new suns melt from off the sundial.
All this your master Villon knew and sung;
And shame, a deathless worm, a quenchless fire;
