The Unreturning
The moon is out
Wolves are howling cloud-peaking
When I am far away from gone
Dead to return upon thee world
There watched I for the dead
Walking upon peering grave no ghost woken
Gloaming darkness among the gusty wind blowing through me
Feeling flesh still burning ashes falling within the light
Lost in darkness, I fear of shadows my sorrow; I could not awaken
The unreturning endureth for ever
Darkness and Rootless hear me moan awaken in chains it wore
Breathe in the ghostly air watch upon the graves from hell
Lingering across the land the unreturning
Will not returning
Many tears within the sleepless hours
Moaning but never heard
The unreturning with no return
