< < < Not any higher stands the grave

Not with a club the heart is broken

---

Not with a club the heart is broken,

     Nor with a stone;

A whip, so small you could not see it.

     I’ve known

---

To lash the magic creature

     Till it fell,

Yet that whip’s name too noble

     Then to tell.

---

Magnanimous of bird

     By boy descried,

To sing unto the stone

     Of which it died.
