Cry From The Dark

TODAY my heart is stricken and sore,

My eyes are darkened and blind,

I cannot see your angel-face!

How shall I ever
nd

In all this overhanging gloom

What once was lost, regain

That smile of paradisal eyes,

Whence love and beauty rain?

Remove this hungering shadows
re,

This smoke of titan cloud

That stie my Spirits upward urge

With coils of poisonous doubt.

Alone on a timeless smouldering shore

I wait and vainly wait

Counting the green-hooded wild waves,

Until some lurking Fate

Hold me in its
erce dragon-claws,

Or heavens redemption white

Bring here for my deliverence

Its golden boat of light.

Here are but tears, like silver dew

And ominous whispers round,

And monstrous presences in glee

Dance on Deaths burning ground.

A smothered sigh is the heavy air

And Time a press of pain,

Night trails her sad in
nity

Under a sick moons wane!

O unseen stars of my destiny

Shall I yet hear your call

And like an eagle cleave the mists,

Overcoming Natures fall,

And meet that aureoled face of Dawn,

And the vestal
re of my soul,

Daybreak and the owers smile,

The Suns divine control!
