Thou Fallest Hard Thou Fallest Fast

Thou fallest hard thou fallest fast 
Thy reign was short it did not last 
Thou bid me speed, thou did well 
But thou dear Ramheart are doomed to hell 
What wavers from yon distant shore 
Whilst it returned here never more 
I bid thee peace with my farewell 
Like sands on seas and oyster shells 
Another night, with darkness I lay 
Upon the sands of time they say 
When comes the clang of yon distant bell
What then at last is death and hell 
But just a thought that’s mired away 
Into the shape of darkened clay 
My wishes vanish, my hope is despair 
This day I breath my last free air 
I come to give my final pledge 
And leap to death from this ledge 
Another voice I hear at last 
Thou fallest hard thou fallest fast
