They Took Her From Me Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

They took her from me - too
So much they took
So much they take off the castle walls
Nay, stone by stone:
So much!

Now the dilapidation made
To its near end be too
And more the pillaging more the pillaging!

Take
Take
Take
And
The
Last
Leave
My heart!


As with the clothes of Christ you tear and share!


Helis
Piment
Dorint
Seper
Sei
Sint
Lores
Lobes
Broder
Inte!


I saw a figure and it was Heloise.
She spoke not.
But passed, passed by me.

I saw not Abelard.

But in night hours
I hear the Whispering of Wisdom
And Thought
Lighted the fortress of my Brain
My Brain Mind!
Haunted!
Haunting!
