for the lilies to lie
another one has gone
and the muezzin calls
for the last prayer of the day
the cock has crowed
to announce the death
of the dawn
the ember is dead
and leave the ashes to the poor life
every where is silent
blue,
and cold.
the birds all sadly retired
to their nest and mourn
rooter, rest apace on the roost
the cloud has covered the glittering star
and leave us all to the darkness of the world
« return.
