That Black Unspoken Word

Ignorance my vanity, That advance, I the shy serpent's sting poison shown overspread such a thing lay to my immortality. Glory, Love of light, sight freely move sweet delight of treasure and of pleasure what unshown to me. My joy bid the face in this place. for I beheld crying gold? Blessing fate that old die seeing simplicity. Infancy I was born did see that love? That did prove so dear and sweet I did meet souls allure that I mighy see death again. God withdrew long ago I swear here of final breath and by the crown. What has raise the woman in her? The wind that grew root to see my feet's eternal? I looked away from this death and night I know, I dream alone? Long before my patiently. For the winds blowing tides known I died. Smiling dreams host gleaming ghost no it's the delightful head of the ancient dead? But not what I've seen in you? not from my unwilling heaven and hell in this most I can not tell who dress the gloom. For I want your eyes prays granted, pity and wise in some new fear. shamed all over too near. Shame my touch that foul you so much and they that do not. (ah) That one black unspoken word.
