Sirius
-
- Dusk! and memory
disperses
- the wind's
breath
- invites my black
and heavy soul
- to a ceremony of
sorrow
- World pacified
by silence
- is a sea without
measure
- I utter cries
over it
- the way a warm
melody rises
- Darkness has
rung down its curtain
- it is veiled on
the earth's skin
- images of desire
indistinguishable
- through scalding
tears
- My heart is
pulled into despair's dark emptiness
- that you would
save me star- bright Sirius!
- Sirius who
smiles with the red lips of day break
- who might
staunch the heart's flow of melancholy
- One streaming
look touches the darkening spirit
- let the night
that fotlows flame my bowed head with pity
- Hear Star of
Kings; Hear white and brilliant Sirius!
- Rise, wipe tears
with your hair from the eyes of night
