Sad Songs

Sweetest songs

Sung by heavens

Are born to sad parents

Whom mirth has denounced

And are fostered by gloom

They nurture on their fear,

Drinking their warm tears

Stranger becomes the light

With hope and smile, in arms

Alas! But she fails to sear, and

Carrying away her children

She knocks on another door

And those dark closed songs

Flowing from the charming tongue

Of demons and beautiful angels

Lull your fleeting joy

To stir your deepest thought

And skim your darkest past

Brushing away the laded dust

They touch the soreness

Of your heart!
