Dante Gabriel Rossetti - After The French Liberation Of Italy
Work rating: Low

AS when the last of the paid joys of love 
Has come and gone; and with a single kiss 
At length, and with one laugh of satiate bliss, 
The wearied man a minute rests above 
The wearied woman, no more urged to move 
In those long throes of longing, till they glide, 
Now lightlier clasped, each to the other`s side, 
In joys past acting, not past dreaming of:—
So Europe now beneath this paramour 
Lies for a little out of use,—full oft 
Submissive to his lust, a loveless whore. 
He wakes, she sleeps, the breath falls slow and soft. 
Wait: the bought body holds a birth within, 
An harlot`s child, to scourge her for her sin.
