Yareth at Solomon's Tomb

By Marjorie Allen Seiffert

At last

Your search is at an end,

King Solomon,

You, restless dreamer,

For whom each face held promise

Unfulfilled,

Whose hungry arms held many women,

( Though none could fill your need )

Who seized, but never loved,

This is your sepulchre...

I who till today

Questioned my heart

Now find it buried with you

In this tomb;

So now I can forgive you

That you never believed

My love!
