richard mitchley - our fathers also by rudyard kipling كلمات أغنية

thrones, powers, dominions, peoples, kings
are changing ’neath our hand
our fathers also see these things
but they do not understand

by—they are by with mirth and tears
wit or the works of desire—
cushioned about on the kindly years
between the wall and the fire

the grapes are pressed, the corn is shocked
standeth no more to glean;
for the gates of love and learning locked
when they went out bеtween

all lore our lady venus bares
signallеd it was or told
by the dear lips long given to theirs
and longer to the mould

all profit, all device, all truth
written it was or said
by the mighty men of their mighty youth
which is mighty being dead

the film that floats before their eyes
the temple’s veil they call;
and the dust that on the shewbread lies
is holy over all
warn them of seas that slip our yoke
of slow_conspiring stars—
the ancient front of things unbroke
but heavy with new wars?

by—they are by with mirth and tears
wit or the waste of desire—
cushioned about on the kindly years
between the wall and the fire!

- richard mitchley
