Only a man harrowing clods
In a slow silent walk
With an old horse that stumbles and nods
Half asleep as they stalk. Only thin smoke without flame
From the heaps of couch-grass;
Yet this will go onward the same
Though Dynasties pass. Yonder a maid and her wight
Come whispering by:
War's annals will cloud into night
Ere their story die.
