[Sweetheart and sweetheart, husband and wife]
[The figures of Heroes by history outlined]
[He who worships Success]
[Honour and Fortune never sought thee out]
[Each thinks himself exceptional]
[The imperial essence, the transcendent dower]
[“How can it surely be known]
[The Age of Suicide draws near]
[Religion dead]
[The weak, all-powerful force, now in our hand]
[The Children of the Land]

Blackberries
[My Darling, you have no father or mother]
My
Darling, you have no father or mother;
My Sweet, you have neither sister nor brother;
You are yourself, and I am I,
And we love each other infinitely;
No one hath part in our life or love
But you and I and the Lord above.
