Closed Chapter of Rg

And some nights I did not sleep While the rustling leaves still tell Your footsteps of vengeance steep In their dead cortege toll the knell Of human trust and human peace. And in all thy wickedness to excess They flocked the Baal of your feast Believing in the piousnes you profess Believing creature more than their Creator, shaking heaven with despair But in fervent watch against your sin Missed the bloom of many spring Until I forgave you and felt the wind From the altar where angels sing. Unleash at last from demon memories I praise the Lord for faith's firm victories. And now with your chapter close I smell again the blushing rose.
