I will wander
I will gather my flowers
Withered and how soon forgotten
Sing with passion
Sing with vehemence
grief too sad for song

I pick the gravel from my eyes

I need no words
I am a face rid of features
Curse this heedless folly
I nothing? plaintive breath, a moment's vision
Curse this dead...

And words crowd to my blistered throat
Dip my wings in your magnificence
Show me my real face
Curse this dead...
Separate my head from their [bad word] 

I lay at length upon the earth
Gnats dance through my sable cloak
I lay at length upon the earth
Heaven is silent in travailed prayer
All darkness flaunt before me

I wish that peace would revisit my mind
Madness endeavours to soothe me

Beckon me nearer, whisper discreetly
When will the sun cease to climb?
That I may write my last farewell
To these gaunt residing shadows
