LUNAR SONG II
—---------------
Someone's decided
To test me again,
Someone's divided
My past and my pain.
From future resembling
The numbness of night,
So silent and senseless,
I'm taking my flight.
Forgive me, oh princess,
My doubts and fear,
Forgive me my weakness
And sorrows I bear.
And now the time has come for reaping,
The grimmer gathering of grain.
And though the memories are keeping me sane,
The summer's gone. And nothing's gained.
Aimless and empty,
Like stars in your crown.
Twilight is tempting -
Not me, for I drown
In absolute darkness -
I know you've been here! -
Where wounded obstructions
And madness adhere!
Forgive me, oh princess,
My doubts and fear,
Forgive me my weakness
And sorrows I bear.
And now the time has come for reaping,
The grimmest gathering of grain.
And though the memories are keeping me sane,
The summer's gone. And nothing's gained.
The summer's gone. And nothing's gained.
