Such a lofty lad

Clad in hue of blue

Brogue and sound

Cast ere frown

Shine on wee clown

Neer say we

How thus be

Kindly watch

Yee yonder sees

Woe is thee

Written down

Beyond thy gown

Gloom does bloom

Knocks too soon

Come hither dragoon

Play and bay

Tombs of clay

Shadows in gray

Gone the day

Oh, mighty wave

Once the proud

Beyond clouds

Weep for thou

Whimpering crowd

Silence the now

Young child be heave

Too soon to believe

Matched to deceive

Left to bleed

Oaths and creeds

Distant apparition

Eternity bound

Hopes abandoned

New to found

In plowed ground

Haunted forest

Soul’s surround

Forsaken minion

Howling hound

Crows abound

Aimlessly wander

Mired in Sloth

Fog and bog

Clawed and gnawed

Crawl behemoth crawl

Plunge to thy depths

Despair unawares

Questions unanswered

Come hither thy lair

Fools all forever declare
