Rondelets
“Which way he went?”
I know not—how should I go spy
Which way he went?
I only know him gone. “Relent?”
He never will—unless I die!
And then, what will it signify
Which way he went?
Say what you please,
But know, I shall not change my mind!
Say what you please,
Even, if you wish it, on your knees—
And, when you hear me next defined
As something lighter than the wind,
Say what you please!
May Probyn.
