Prothalamion revisited

[ellajam]

Thanks, Achebe, I never heard the word prothalamion nor read Spencer's poem, he sure can run on. I had to look up whilom, too.

"There whilom wont the Templar Knights to bide, " What a line.

I like:
Not among
those thronging on your banks
but "where" in the last line sounds a bit off, seems like "when" would be right to my ear, maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks for the read(s).

Sweet Themmes, run softly
for the day is not long
to close, and she
not among
those thronging on your banks,
though the hour draws near
where I end my song.
