Life gives and takes

Life gives and takes, with broken hours lagging.
Gives to a lady whose existence's dim
A consolation prize - a faithless husband
That's capable of cruelty and sin.

Gives to a user that would grab for riches -
The loneliness of earthly and mundane,
Gives to a poet - dreams of Beatrice,
And, granting wisdom, grants the frozen pain.

Gives to a knight - a death without surrender,
And to a sum of numbers - gives its mean.
And something undescribable and tender -
Is what it, unawares, gives to me.
