<h2> SACRIFICE </h2>
<p>And O most noble, and yet once again<br/>
Most noble spirit, if I ever did<br/>
Aught that thy goodness frowns on, be it hid<br/>
Forever, and deep-buried. Let the rain<br/>
<br/>
Of coming springs fall on the quiet grave.<br/>
Perchance some violets will grow to tell<br/>
That I, when uttering this last farewell,<br/>
Built up a sacrificial architrave;<br/>
<br/>
That I, who worship thee, have love so great,<br/>
To live in the horizon thou may’st set;<br/>
To stand but in the shadow of the gate,<br/>
<br/>
Faithful, when coward promptings cry, “Forget.”<br/>
Ah, lady, when I gave my heart to thee,<br/>
It passed into thy lifelong regency.<br/></p>
