Shall I Tell
Shall I tell of listless breeze
that swagger carelessly in morrows trees
shall I tell light not to appear
thine eye is single to fitful sneer
shall I open portal's bow
resist calamity here and now
shall I tell what prospers delight
galbraith layer scornful fright
twilight gloom's the abyss forlorn
ripped down the middle of meddlesome scorn
mock me not shall I tell thee why
closer foundling quietness is nigh
unspoken shame came a knocking wild
shall I tell thee chosen child
hope obscure dream like state
shake me wake me from this fate
shall I tell thee what thou know
pestilence horrors drifts of snow
shall I tell thee why I shall reign
all that was lost is now regained
