His Throne
written by William Henry Davies
From "Love Poems" (1935) Link to further information




When Love has lost his bite and sting,
And all his fire has gone —
What other god shall take his place,
And fill his golden throne?

Where Love has sat, there let him lie,
Whether he lives or dies;
Still on that throne, where none succeeds,
Embalmed in memories.
