I know not, I,

What the men together say, How lovers, lovers die

And youth passes away.


Cannot understand

Love that mortal bears For native, native land

— All lands are theirs.


Why at grave they grieve

For one voice and face,

And not, and not receive Another in its place.


I, above the cone

Of the circling night Flying, never have known More or lesser light.


Sorrow it is they call

This cup: whence my lip, Woe's me, never in all

My endless days must sip.


— C. S. LEWIS
