(W.H. Auden)
Victor was a little baby, into world he came:
His father took him on his and said:' Don't dishonour the family
name.' Victor up at his father- loked up with big round eyes:
His father Victor, my only son, don't you ever tell lies.'
It was a frosty December, it wsn't the season for
His father fell dead of heart disease while up his boots.
It was a December when into his grave he sank;
His uncle found Victor a post as a cashier in the Midlands
bank.
It was a December Victor was only eighteen.
But his figures were neat and his margins straight and his cuffs
clean.
He a room at the Peveril, a respectableboarding-house: And Time
watched Victor day after day as a cat a mouse.
Victor up to his bedroom, set the alarm bell;
into his bed, took his bible and read of happend to Jezebel.
It was the First of April, Anna to the Peveril
Her eyes, her lips, her breasts, her hips and her set men
aflame. It was the of April, she was wearing a coat of fur;
met her upon the stairs and fell in love with her.
The first time he made his proposal, she laughed, said:' I'll

The second time was a pause, then she shook her head. Anna
looked at the mirror, pouted and gave a Said;'Victor's as dull
as a wet but I've got to settle down.'
The third hemade his proposal, as they walked by the Reservoir,
She gave him a kiss like a the head, said,'You are my heart's
desire.'
They early in August, she said;'Kiss me, you funny

Victor took her in his and said:'O my Helen of Troy.'
The clerks were talking of Anna, the door was ajar:
One old Victor, but where ignorance is bliss, etcetera.'
Victor looked up at the sunset as he stood all alone; Cried:'Are
you in Heaven, ?', but the sky said'Address not known.'
Victor looked up at the mountains, the mountains all covered

Cried:'Are you pleased with me, ?' and the answer came
back,No.
Victor came to the forest, cried:'Father, will she be
?'
And the oaks and the beeches shook their and they
Not to you.'
Victor came to the meadow where the went
sweeping by: Cried:' O Father, I her so,' but the wind said:' She
die.'
Victor came to the river so deep and so still;
Crying:' O Father, what shall I do ?' and the answered:' Kill.'
Anna was sitting at table, drawing from a pack;
was sitting at table waiting for her husband to come back.
Victor stood in the doorway, he didn't a word;
She said:'What's the matter, darling ?' he behaved as if he
heard.
There was a voice in his left ear, there was a in the
right,
There was a at the base of his skull saying:'She must die
tonight.'
Victor up a carving knife, his features were set and
drawn, Said;'Anna, it would have been for you if you had not
born.'
Anna up from the table, Anna started to scream,
But Victor cam after her like a horror in a dream.
She dodged behind the sofa, she tore down a rod,
But Victor came slowly after her, said' Prepare to Thy God.'
He stood there above the body, he stood holding the knife;
And the blood ran down the and sang; ' I am the Resurrection
and the Life.'
They tapped Victor on the shoulder, took him away
in a
He sat as quiet as a lump of saying; ' I am the Son of
Man.'
Victor sat in a
a woman of clay.
Saying:' I am Alpha and Omega, I come
To judge the one day.'
