Under the Faded Trees

Under a sky without one star,

Around me brown leaves fall.

Can no longer feel in this world,

Can no longer hear sea's call.

…

No escape from infinitude,

Do not have the gift of Men.

A gift, the doom, a light, a gloom,

Thoughts escape me yet again.

…

Only sound the broken leaves,

No bird song or melody.

Left with barren land and frigid air,

Cut off from bitter sea.

…

Ages of Lamps, and Trees and Sun,

All have come and gone.

But now I'm left in darkened world,

Where no light or love has shone.
