In graves as silent as the night
that covers them with Plutoss light
Dwells Hades' Queen, Proserpine who,
kneeling in her bower,
prays to Venus' lover, Mars
for sight of blood and strife and starg
'While, all about her, lovers sleep
their jealous quarrels drowned
in dust
at Lethe's bottom all their lust
and warriors who brave once were
their quiet vigil sleep by her
But Love and War , •they turn away
when the Queen of Death kneels do -a
to pray.
