Comrades

Yet for the honourable felicity
Of comradeship I can be chivalrous,
And through love's transmutations fierily
Constant as the gemmed paladin Sirius
To that fair pact. We go, gay challengers,
Beneath dark rampires of forbidden thought,
Thread life's dim gardens masked like revellers
Where dreams of roses red are dearly bought.
We shall ride haughtily as bright Crusaders,
As hooded palmers fare with humbled hearts,
And we shall find, adoring blithe invaders,
The City of Seven Towers, of Seven Arts.--
Then the Last Quest, (lead you the dreadful way!)
Among the unimagined Nebulae!

[The end]
Rachel Annand Taylor's poem: Comrades
