He spoke with Turk and Jew
With Christian and with Infidel

O whats a wifeless man? said he
And he came sailing home.”

Now I know what you must have meant as a month since I walked,
As I walked in silence the transparent shadowy night,”

Perhaps a few words on the implacable will
Of time sailing like a magic barque
Or something as fine for the amenities....”
