Hermione and Her Little Group of Serious Thinkers/Envoy—(Hermione the Deathless)
ENVOY
HERMIONE, THE DEATHLESS
She will not die!—in Brainstorm Slum
Fake, Nut and Freak Psychologist
Eternally shall buzz and hum,
And Spook and Swami keep their tryst
With Thinkers in a Mental Mist.
You threaten her with Night and Sorrow?
Out of the Silences, I wist,
More Little Groups will rise tomorrow!
The lips of Patter ne'er are dumb,
The Futile Mills shall grind their grist
Of sand from now till Kingdom Come;
The Winds of Bunk are never whist.
You scowl and shake an honest fist—
You threaten her with Night and Sorrow?
Go slay one Pseudo-Scientist,
More Little Groups will rise tomorrow!
With Fudge to feed the Hungry Bum
She plays the Girl Philanthropist—
Each pinchbeck, toy Millenium
She swings, a Bangle, at her wrist—
Blithe Parrot and Pert Egoist,
You threaten her with Night and Sorrow?
Hermiones will aye persist!
More Little Groups will rise tomorrow!
She, whom Prince Platitude has kissed,
You threaten her with Night and Sorrow?
Slay her by thousands, friend—but list:
More Little Groups will rise tomorrow!
