Rudyard Kipling - Helen All Alone
Work rating: Low

There was darkness under Heaven
        For an hour`s space—
      Darkness that we knew was given
        Us for special grace.
      Sun and noon and stars were hid,
        God had left His Throne,
      When Helen came to me, she did,
        Helen all alone!

      Side by side (because our fate
        Damned us ere our birth)
      We stole out of Limbo Gate
        Looking for the Earth.
      Hand in pulling hand amid
        Fear no dreams have known,
      Helen ran with me, she did,
        Helen all alone!

      When the Horror passing speech
        Hunted us along,
      Each laid hold on each, and each
        Found the other strong.
      In the teeth of Things forbid
        And Reason overthrown,
      Helen stood by me, she did,
        Helen all alone!

      When, at last, we heard those Fires
        Dull and die away,
      When, at last, our linked desires
        Dragged us up to day;
      When, at last, our souls were rid
        Of what that Night had shown,
      Helen passed from me, she did,
        Helen all alone!

      Let her go and find a mate,
        As I will find a bride,
      Knowing naught of Limbo Gate
        Or Who are penned inside.
      There is knowledge God forbid
        More than one should own.
      So Helen went from me, she did,
        Oh, my soul, be glad she did!
      Helen all alone!
