Godless and eyeless  With a pristine word  And a charcoal heart.  Staring down from someplace else    We speak like snakes  We live like leaves  We take like men  We touch like thieves    Standing under the oak,  Under cloak and hood    Down by the sea  And under the waves  It was whispered to me  That nought was saved    Over the Plains  Deep under the ground  The night sung in my ear  That all will be found    Scaling the wall  That hid all from sight  Our bodies grew weak  Our skin seared by the light    So why is it now  That all is undone  In the age when the moon  Makes pale the sun
