While between them are the footsteps Of glittering presences, who say: Lo, one To be a sword upon my thigh! And the sleepers stir restlessly and murmur As between them pass The bright-mailed choosers of the dead. Shall I see ye again, O flying feet O the forest-haunters, while I couch silent, In a wet brake o blossom, Dark ivy wreathing your whiteness; Ere I am torn from the scabbard: (Lo, one To be a sword upon my thigh!)
