Last Despair
Beyond repair
Watch sad despair
Climb lonely stairs
Here at this gate
Sorrow fills plate
Harsh floods sad fate
Now who can hide
From death's clear stride?
Not even pride
Grip of grand gloom
Now floods this room
As death now grooms
Rigour mortis
Body lies stiff
Beyond life lease
Sense last despair
In sad affair
Beyond repair
And yet soul knows
A certain glow
True light now shows
A sad sad veil:
Love now avails
For grace prevails
A homeward glimpse
In sparkling streams
Dream within dream
