So sad her eyes Smiling dark eyes So sad her eyes As it began On such a breathless night as this Upon my brow the lightest kiss I walked alone And all around the air did say My lady soon will stir this way In sorrow known The white queen walks and The night grows pale Stars of lovingness in her hair Needing - unheard Pleading - one word So sad my eyes She cannot see ---

I dreamed I met a Galilean; A most amazing man. He had that look you very rarely find: The haunting, hunted kind. I asked him to say what had happened, How it all began. I asked again, he never said a word. As if he hadn’t heard. And next, the room was full of wild and angry men. They seemed to hate this man. They fell on him, and then They disappeared again. Then I saw thousands of millions Crying for this man. And then I heard them mentioning my name, And leaving me the blame. ---
