Dark the Night
The night wind moans,
A sighing groan,
Filled with misery and woe.
Dark is death,
A heartless plague,
Steals my breath,
My vision fades.
The night birds shriek,
A cawing bleak,
To reap the life I sowed.
Dark the shadows,
Dim the light,
Hard my pillow
Gone is flight.
The night is black,
A soul I lack,
Stolen by a foe,
Dark the grave,
Cold the earth,
A promise gave,
No new birth.
