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
