The Golden Darkness/Warning
WARNING.
So time goes by . . . a night of swooning sin,
And then a day of bitterness and song,
Then night again; and yet the world I wrong
Knows not the struggle raging on within.
And then a day of bitterness and song,
Then night again; and yet the world I wrong
Knows not the struggle raging on within.
O he who kills the flesh murders the soul,
But life is kind here in this world of men;
Beauty forgives me again and again,
And winds and rains and dawns come to console.
But life is kind here in this world of men;
Beauty forgives me again and again,
And winds and rains and dawns come to console.
So time went by until one dreary day
After a night of the old fevered madness,
Waking to bitter song, and the bleak sadness
Of a cold wind and sky, I was struck dumb
After a night of the old fevered madness,
Waking to bitter song, and the bleak sadness
Of a cold wind and sky, I was struck dumb
To see above the horizon's rim of grey
The startled eyes of the Millennium!
The startled eyes of the Millennium!
