love poem

if the red slayer think he slays
in september
a thousand silent years ago
give me hunger
while i stood listening, discreetly dumb
out of me unworthy and unknown
a few more windy days
in their ragged regimentals
under dusky laurel leaf
pharaoh, king of egypt's land
up from the meadows rich with corn
and still they walked on
