|
Linger in my shadow! |
|
Ivy roses entwine around our feet |
|
This midnight garden |
|
Where covert angels come to weep |
|
Ages come and go |
|
Years like seasons pass |
|
A headless crown |
|
Is all that lasts |
|
We weather the storm |
|
Besides a lion head |
|
Where we watch a crumbling world |
|
Rotten and sad |
|
The young, the old, the lowly, the strong, |
|
Silently sip the poison of time |
|
Then with a gesture of salvation |
|
They turn into stone |
|
Ages come and go |
|
Years like seasons pass |
|
A headless crown |
|
Is all that lasts |
|
Weather-beaten hands |
|
Restrain the time |
|
What joy, and beauty, |
|
And what sadness is mine! |
|
Fallen are the leaves |
|
Lifeless stand the trees |
|
Forsaken stairs |
|
Lead to nowhere |
|
Ages come and go |
|
Years like seasons pass |
|
A headless crown |
|
Is all that lasts |
