My Lady's Post of Danger
Oh have I not beyond all other men
By love's sheer power eternal and supreme
And by the absorbing might of passion's dream
And by the solemn majesty of pain
Earned the great right the foremost post to gain
Where the white wild delirious sword-blades gleam?
Have I not struggled, that love's light might beam
Upon a knightly shield without a stain?
O Lord of love, if recompence there be
In the eternal universe of things
For anguished love that surges like a sea
Yet rides above the rolling waves, and sings,
Grant me for recompence superbly fair
Her foremost post of danger. Put me there.
By love's sheer power eternal and supreme
And by the absorbing might of passion's dream
And by the solemn majesty of pain
Earned the great right the foremost post to gain
Where the white wild delirious sword-blades gleam?
Have I not struggled, that love's light might beam
Upon a knightly shield without a stain?
O Lord of love, if recompence there be
In the eternal universe of things
For anguished love that surges like a sea
Yet rides above the rolling waves, and sings,
Grant me for recompence superbly fair
Her foremost post of danger. Put me there.
