The Secret Splendour

A monument of music

Out-pyramidding all!

 Seeing it none shall grieve

To see me fall—

None save the heart of you

That make no feast on fame:

What can you can for splendours

Signed with my name

If, to your sweetest calling

By word or waiting lip,

 That monument is an answer

While the warn hungers slip

Out of my flesh for ever,

Leaving no joy to your lust

But the final hour of forgetting

My dust in your dust?
