Edith Nesbit - The Last BetrayalEdith Nesbit - The Last Betrayal
Work rating: Low


AND I shall lie alone at last, Clear of the stream that ran so fast, And feel the flower roots in my hair, And in my hands the roots of trees; Myself wrapt in the ungrudging peace That leaves no pain uncovered anywhere. What--this hope left? this way not barred? This last best treasure without guard? This heaven free--no prayers to pay? Fool--are the Rulers of men asleep? Thou knowest what tears They bade thee weep, But, when peace comes, `tis thou wilt sleep, not They.
