” Look For Shadows “
– be a haven I seek –
Should I opt
To elude a state
Plays me bleak
I’d want but flee,
Be a haven I seek
Where I may find,
The denied peace
In docile shadows,
Of place nigh blind
To hold somber mind…
So on a day
The sun is strong,
You may perceive
I’m gone too long,
Held be soul lost
‘Tis surely mine,
So should ye find
Your way in time,
Look for shadows
For there I’ll be,
With austere mind
Wants not depart,
Ill-fated so resigned!
ode to the love of a brother lost
