defeat my defeat my solitude and my
aloofness you are dearer to me and a
thousand triumphs and sweeter to my
heart all world glory defeat my defeat
myself knowledge and my defiance through
you I know that I am yet young in the
Swift of foot and not to be trapped by
withering laurels and in you I have
found the lowness
and the joy of being shunned and scorned
defeat
mine defeat my shining sword and shield
your eyes I have read that to be
enthroned is to be enslaved and to be
understood is to be leveled down and to
be grasped his but to reach one's
fullness and like a ripe fruit to fall
and be consumed defeat my defeat my bold
companion you shall hear my songs and my
cries and my silences a none but you
shall speak to me of the beating of
wings and urging of seas and of
mountains that burn in the night and you
alone shall climb my steep and rocky
soul
defeat my defeat my deathless courage
you and I shall laugh together the storm
and together we shall dig graves for all
that die in us and we shall stand in the
Sun with the will and we shall be
dangerous
