What in our lives is burnt
In the fire of this?
The heart's dear granary?
The much we shall miss?
Three lives hath one life –
Iron, honey, gold
The gold, the honey gone –
Left is the hard and cold
Iron are our lives
Molten right through our youth
A burnt space through ripe fields
A fair mouth's broken tooth
