Sonnet 1Gwendolyn Bennett He came in silvern armour, trimmed with black - A lover come from legends long ago - With silver spurs and silken plumes a-blow, And flashing sword caught fast and buckled back In a carven sheath of Tamarack. He came with footsteps beautifully slow, And spoke in voice meticulously low. He came and Romance followed in his track ... I did not ask his name-I thought him Love; I did not care to see his hidden face. All life seemed born in my intaken breath; All thought seemed flown like some forgotten dove. He bent to kiss and raised his visor’s lace ... All eager-lipped I kissed the mouth of Death.
