Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - To One In A Hostile Camp
Work rating: Low

How dare I, Juliet, in love`s kindness be
 Your counsellor for these mad days of war,
 I, a sworn Montagu, to liberty
 Bound by all oaths which men least lightly swear?
 How shall I aid you, who enlisted are
 In a strange camp, `neath a strange captaincy,
 Nor urge rebellion to that lurid star
 Which mocks the captive nations held in fee?
 --Nay, bid me not thus falsify my griefs.
 I cannot turn my creed nor change my King.
 Around me crumble my life`s last beliefs,
 But in the wreck of faiths to faith I cling.
 Lo, this my message is, till Time shall die,
 ``Though all abandon these, yet never I.``
