Selected Poems of Oscar Wilde

  • polyxenehar citeretfor 7 år siden
    The man had killed the thing he loved,
    And so he had to die.
    Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
    By each let this be heard,
    Some do it with a bitter look,
    Some with a flattering word,
    The coward does it with a kiss,
    The brave man with a sword!
    Some kill their love when they are young,
    And some when they are old;
    Some strangle with the hands of Lust,
    Some with the hands of Gold:
    The kindest use a knife, because
    The dead so soon grow cold.
    Some love too little, some too long,
    Some sell, and others buy;
    Some do the deed with many tears,
    And some without a sigh:
    For each man kills the thing he loves,
    Yet each man does not die.

    And the wild regrets, and the bloody sweats,
    None knew so well as I:
    For he who lives more lives than one
    More deaths than one must die.

    The hangman with his gardener's gloves
    Slips through the padded door,
    And binds one with three leathern thongs,
    That the throat may thirst no more.

    He does not know that sickening thirst

    And the sky above my head became
    Like a casque of scorching steel;
    And, though I was a soul in pain,
    My pain I could not feel.

    The poor dead woman whom he loved,
    And murdered in her bed.
