Rudyard Kipling - The Oldest SongRudyard Kipling - The Oldest Song
Work rating: Low


"These were never your true love`s eyes.  Why do you feign that you love them? You that broke from their constancies,  And the wide calm brows above them! This was never your true love`s speech.  Why do you thrill when you hear it? You that have ridden out of its reach  The width of the world or near it! This was never your true love`s hair,  You that chafed when it bound you Screened from knowledge or shame or care,  In the night that it made around you!" "All these things I know, I know.  And that`s why my heart is breaking!" "Then what do you gain by pretending so?" "The joy of an old wound waking."
