| ROSES and gold | |
| For you today, | |
| And the flash of flying flags. | |
| I will have | |
| Ashes, | 5 |
| Dust in my hair, | |
| Crushes of hoofs. | |
| Your name | |
| Fills the mouth | |
| Of rich man and poor. | 10 |
| Women bring | |
| Armfuls of flowers | |
| And throw on you. | |
| I go hungry | |
| Down in dreams | 15 |
| And loneliness, | |
| Across the rain | |
| To slashed hills | |
| Where men wait and hope for me. |
