On bended knees I gave time my pledge
\nTo bind you to the dust\u2019s
\nHaziness behind the hedge of human crusts –
\nThere can be no sparkling gems, where I fall –
\nOnly tattered dress hems swinging
\nIn a dark hall –
\nFrom the tops of desolate frames
\nTwisted with oppressed desire –
\nCaught between a cherished name
\nAnd the wounded liar –
\nIf I cripple, bruise, molested the soul try to forgive –
\nI did not choose this noxious hour
\nTime made it live.<\/p>\n
