Marie Magdalene (A handwritten poem found in a book of poetry by James Elroy Flecker) Part Three


Oh Mary not for this I cried

Did not then renounce thy scented guide

Not for the roll of endless years

Of field ## ### undewed by tears

Did not than desert the courts of men

Tell me the truth grave Magdalene

She trembled and her eyes grew dimmer

For love of him for love of #####

c 1930
