Villanelle

Apollo left the golden Muse
And shepherded a mortal's sheep,
Theocritus of Syracuse!

Where Milon and where Battus reap,

Ye slept the swain's unfever'd sleep,
Theocritus of Syracuse!

Watching their pigeons return
From the feed you have scattered,

And I stand on my corner
With the same marble patience.
If I move at all, it is
At the same pace precisely

As the shade of the awning
Under which I stand waiting

The true conservative is the man who has a real concern for injustices and takes thought against the day of reckoning.
