A Lonely Hymn At Night

Time, a pathway to the final end Death, a pathway to a new beginning Time and death are subtle allies One to reveal, the other — a fulfilment A sad one ponders alone under the night sky Wondering at the beautiful tempest of life Sick, secluded and submissive to the raining flows His shimmering tears' lost in his vast but empty sighs Now do the birds weep their supportive cries The sorry breeze whooshes calm to his grieving spirit The trees sway lightly to the band of night's wind For so it is, the top one sings to nature, his strives Man and nature thus resonated a hymn at night An ode to the weak strength of man Man and nature did chorus a hymn at night A praise of man's perseverance against all odds
