And I often sigh

Brooding sleepless curse

Behind a murky dream

The ascent seemed age long

A meaningless journey

Going on to some grim ending

My memory cannot seize

Into a most wretched silence

Embark unto nothingness

Now the shadows deepen

In the twilight of my

Dark heart

No tomb no long slow sleep of death

Embalmed in this bleak and frigid clime

My blood doth so sluggishly run

Frozen in motionless ripples of crystal

Still I hear voices

And they seem to be crying

In some forgotten world

Far above
