My Calliope

Wouldn't thee come forth,

Hand me thy hand and sing,

Of lover's torment and merriment,

In the disheartened spring?

Or shall thy breath awaken angels,

Who weep in silent set-stone,

Above an eternally resting,

Old man of pride and all artistic tone? 

Perchance to speak of lyrical beasts,

That thy heart does not feel,

Because I see that time forsakes us,

In a promise our drunken kiss shall seal.
