Lionel Johnson

（For the Rev¹. John J. Burke, C. S. P.）

There was a murkier² tinge³ in London's air As if the honest fog blushed black for shame. Fools sang of sin, for other fools' acclaim⁴, And Milton's wreath was tossed to Baudelaire. The flowers of evil blossomed everywhere, But in their midst a radiant lily came Candescent, pure, a cup of living flame, Bloomed for a day, and left the earth more fair.

And was it Charles, thy "fair and fatal King", Who bade thee welcome to the lovely land？ Or did Lord David cease to harp⁵ and sing To take in his thine emulative⁶ hand？ Or did Our Lady's smile shine forth⁷, to bring Her lyric⁸ Knight⁹ within her choir¹⁰ to stand？
