Many a year and one still harder drag on
Over the foreign lake the sunset burns on.
Then you came down from the mountains
To bring me Saint George and the Dragon.
If only I could print them on the flag
Aflutter with the whiplash of east wind
In the heart... And descend for you in a maelstrom
Of fidelity, turned deathless.
