Topics: classic

Vain is the chiming of forgotten bells         That the wind sways above a ruined shrine.      Vainer his voice in whom no longer dwells         Hunger that craves immortal Bread and Wine.      Light songs we breathe that perish with our breath         Out of our lips that have not kissed the rod.      They shall not live who have not tasted death.         They only sing who are struck dumb by God.
