What in our lives is burnt In the fire of this? The heart’s dear granary? The much we shall miss?
Three lives hath one life – Iron, honey, gold. The gold, the honey gone – Left is the hard and cold.
Iron are our lives Molten right through our youth. A burnt space through ripe fields, A fair mouth’s broken tooth.
