WHEN WE TWO WALKED
17 lines✦
HEN we two walked in LentWe imagined that happinessWas something differentAnd this was something less. But happy were we to hideOur happiness, not as they wereWho acted in their prideJuno and Jupiter: For the Gods in their jealousyMurdered that wife and man,And we that were wise live freeTo recall our happiness then. IN MEMORIAM (Easter, 1915) THE flowers left thick at nightfall in the woodThis Eastertide call into mind the men,Now far from home, who, with their sweethearts, shouldHave gathered them and will do never again.
