In Arcadia ego
   Twisted the rose did grow
   Sucked up the sap of this world
   Blood red the petals pearled
   With some wisdom absurd
   And outside these walls
   The night took the rose
   Bound it with moonlight
   And cut it up with the morning star
   In Arcadia ego
   A rose to drown in snow
   A sepulchre by the sea
   Marble to slumber beneath
   Lulled by a mountain stream
   And outside these walls
   The night knows us all
   In dark woods wandering
   Detached of our soul
   "Pour wine and dance if manhood still have pride
   Bring roses if the rose be yet in bloom
   All wisdom shut into his onyx eyes
   Our Father Rosicross sleeps in his tomb"
   (W.B.Yeats, Frater D.E.D.I.)
   In Arcadia ego
   How fast the years did go
   And how bitter is the wind
   Blowing from shores of Arcady
   Outside these walls
   The night knows us all
   In dark woods the roses grow
   In hardship the soul
