When doorway lilacs bloom in Spring,
And the Schools are loosed, and the games are played
That were deadly earnest when Earth was made?

Croaks open; and harsh wagon-wheels are heard
Creaking through cold; the horses' breath is furred
Around their nostrils; and with snow deep mossed

Who fought that Frenchman grim with guile;

And mauled the mat in rare old style.

And the fingers, taken in by their own haloes,
Grown milky, almost clear, like the bodies of saints.
