Let Me Revel 'Til Tomorrow
Far from the language of men I buried
My sorrow, I wrapped it in solitude
Grieving safe in linen white and I heed
Its soft demanding voice rarely subdued
For should I say too soon: ‘I badly wish
From you to be parted. Go! Disappear
In the air, I no longer care! Vanish!
Vanish miserable friend! Vanish from here!’
Then what? For my sorrow you see
Is such a loyal tender companion
A welcome gateway and escape to me
It never lied, never cheated, what’s more
Its friendly chains I made, so do not be
too harsh, let me revel 'til tomorrow.
