Algernon Charles Swinburne - Aperotos Eros
Work rating: Low

Strong as death, and cruel as the grave,
Clothed with cloud and tempest`s blackening breath,
Known of death`s dread self, whom none outbrave,
   Strong as death,

Love, brow-bound with anguish for a wreath,
Fierce with pain, a tyrant-hearted slave,
Burns above a world that groans beneath.

Hath not pity power on thee to save,
Love? hath power no pity?  Nought he saith,
Answering:  blind he walks as wind or wave,
   Strong as death.
