Pierrot and Columbine

By Margaret DeLaughter


From “In the Night Watches” THE GODS are dead, and we are old;
And we are old, for now at last,
For now at last our hearts are cold;
Our hearts are cold, and love is past.

Our love is past, and even so,	5
And even so our dreams have fled.
Our dreams have fled, and so we know,
And so we know the gods are dead!
