Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - Natalia’s Resurrection: Sonnet V
Work rating: Low

Until it happened, as such things will be,
 That she, who had a proud man for her spouse
 None the less loving that unloved was he,
 Must bear a child, the heir to his high house.
 Then Adrian left her. It was idle sorrow
 Longer to wait a suppliant at her door,
 Weeping the promise of a lost to--morrow
 Which never could be his nor valued more.
 And he was tired of tears and nightly needed
 To feed his manhood`s strength on stronger meat,
 And neither word of hers nor vow he heeded,
 Who was thus proved a daughter of deceit;
 And he was wrath with her and womanhood,
 And with himself, and chiefly wrath with God.
