The dove shall bring, the raven writhe

As lonely sighs of Heaven abide

By ‘morrow no more, thou may speak

Of testament that thou dost seek

From enter the world, no words hast bore

No one t’was expecting more

Rising tall, thou mouth sealed lips

Leaning slightly on earth’s rips

Tell of when thou las’ hast breath

And let go dreary of thy death

Avian wings, O mast’ by Hand

Refuse to lift thy contraband

T’was so thou live, gone from man

Thy soul not ready, off and ran

By noon clock struck, and out from within

Returned all favors of thy sin

Mistress high, mistress low,

Dost thou love in vertigo?

Thy voice still mute, by gone still heart

Thine winner’s victor fall apart

‘Till day is gone, by nightly calls,

Doth repentance of thy world install

And it is so, thine feathers bloom

Upon the dark, a wishful plume

Down the River, born of judge

Heavy weights of cursed grudge

Time slowly hath turned to thee

In hour of thy insanity

Fingers lift, thine mouth agape

As long as thou shall keep thy shape

Speak no words, no, go along

Sing thy ballad of hereby song

From which thine life shall depart with glee

Bliss into enternity

Thine Cygnus shall return from grim

To join thy choir of blessed hymn

Beauty of such never heard’st before

From decrepit walls o’ burning floors

But when that swan decide said will

Shall fly in lieu ‘tward island still

Thine life was well, begone from noise

Shall once was heard, bring you re-poise.
