"Come
to us, youth, tell us truly why there is madness in your
eyes?"
"I
know not what wine of wild poppy I have drunk, that there is this
madness in my eyes."
"Ah,
shame!"
"Well,
some are wise and some foolish, some are watchful and some careless.
There are eyes that smile and eyes that weep--and madness is in my
eyes."
"Youth,
why do you stand so still under the shadow of the tree?"
"My
feet are languid with the burden of my heart, and I stand still in the
shadow."
"Ah,
shame!"
"Well,
some march on their way and some linger, some are free and some are
fettered--and my feet are languid with the burden of my heart."
