Vesper bells hailing

The loom of harsh day

Vesper bells hailing

As mounting sorrow furrows the fields - to do, as it does, through deeds of misfortune. This creature, hardened by tragedy and fouled by timeless misery - Purges, in a momentary lapse in stoicism, the last of marrow

Crying bewilderment between joy and sorrow

Vesper bells hail the loom of harsh days

to exsanguinate this body, lain

look upon the horizon

with tranquil eyes

be still with me and turn these eyes in

Accursed struggle over

Lifeless bliss

Cloistered in crepuscular forbearance
