Daylight Full of Night

How can this daylight be full of night and the globe deflate on this unreliable plight because yesterday above the roses the sun had hung bright all the joy now seems out of sight, out of lives the world is doomed in this nightlight for the day hasn't come in years and never might All men pray, children fly kite oblivious of the end in this mythical light End of love, end of the world, end of the daylight trusting this imitation by few Antichrists Men may die overwhelmed by regret and fright That they had never seen the daylight Because the days of darkness were not days but nights
