He loved two women; one whose soul was clean
As any lily growing on its stalk;
And one with glowing eyes and sensuous mien.
Who fired him with her beauty and her talk.

But when he died his dearest friend she wed.
The wanton from the wild world drew aside,
And no man saw her face till she was dead.
