Dance Macabre
A blazing beacon beams
Crowning desolation
The force of sadness seems
To enjoin isolation
Mirrors in the streams
Sprung from secret places
Silence grows obscene
And kills whatever graces
Sanity withholds
For Faith has not an eye
Nor a riddled soul
Can tell the reasons why
The glitter of the stars
Seem like loneliness
But in the still of pain
There may yet be holiness
