He was an evil thing to see—

Of joy his mouth was desolate,

His body was a stunted tree,

His eyes were pools of lust and hate.

Now silverly the linnet singsOn leaves that from his temples startAnd gay the yellow crocus springsFrom the rich clod that was his heart.

Now silverly the linnet sings

On leaves that from his temples start

And gay the yellow crocus springs

From the rich clod that was his heart.
