In the veil of the night |
|
I wandered about at the bole of a tree it did light |
|
I deemed it a stone at first glance, no doubt something in me was lured by its sight |
|
First feeble and dim but then it did shine in the shade and the colours of gold |
|
Thither I hurried, no longer |
|
I strolled |
|
Methought it was something divine |
|
Firmly I grasped and now i beheld |
|
No precious did someone bequeath, |
|
I tossed it from me and terribly yelled ...a skull with a golden teeth! |
|
First feeble and dim but then it did shine in the shade and the colours of gold |
|
That thing of aghast it rolled and it rolled till it stopped at one place of malign |
|
Led by a dream by light deceived |
|
Light-hearted |
|
I strolled through the night |
|
But what the horror of that ghastly thing? |
|
It is just a burial site... |
|
God may know why |
|
I frantically graved, where that death's head did cover the ground - but what did |
|
I see! Unsound and depraved, my remains and their burial mound |
|
But the horror of that ghastly thing did show me my burial site |
