Hateful Is The Dark-Blue Sky
Hateful is the dark-blue sky, Vaulted oer the dark-blue sea. Death is the end of life; ah, why Should life all labor be? Let us alone. Time driveth onward fast, And in a little while our lips are dumb. Let us alone. What is it that will last? And things are taken from us, and become Portions and parcels of the dreadful past. Let us alone. What pleasure can we have To war with evil? Is there any peace In ever climbing up the climbing wave? All things have rest, and ripen toward the grave In silence, ripen, fall, and cease: Give us long rest or death, dark death, or dreamful ease.
