THE BLUE DWARF.
97
GOVINDA
Dance, o thou mannikin
Dwarf and malign
To the clink of Earth’s pannikin
Drained of its wine !
CHAU
Dance, to the scream
Of strangled humanity,
The delirious dream
Of the Vampires of Vanity !
The kings rise, bow, and depart.
THE KINGS
Away, away like the wanton wind !
One to the groves of ilex tall ;
One to the plains of infinite Ind ;
One beyond the Mongol wall.
As we met, so we part.
Three great kings and one true heart !
