The Labour of Night - ZaunköniG - 30.04.2012 Christopher Brennan 1897 - 1918 Australien The Labour of Night What gems chill glitter yon, thrice dipt in dusky Styx, or tears unshed the spheres, in icy exile stript, congeal in midnight's gaze of lead? O thou crown'd catiff, o'er our head whereon thine agelon wounds have dript the dark arms of thy passion spread dwarf the vast vault to a hard crypt. Round thine eternal hour of woe the abyss urges, a rigid throe, whose woeful dark sees nought emerge, save these, their consolation vain and frozen on the helpless verge, lonely, ecstatic fires of pain. |
