Сторінка 124 - PRELUDE / have eaten your bread and salt, I have drunk your water and wine ; The deaths ye died I have watched beside, And the lives ye led were mine. Was there aught that I did not share In vigil or toil or ease — One joy or woe that I did not know, Dear hearts across the seas ? I have written the tale of our life For a sheltered people' s mirth, In jesting guise — but ye are wise, And ye know what the jest is worth...
