Sound so sweet the song thou sing
in remnant of your past
Thine angelic voice but ring...
Dost thou know thine pow'r
In sweet potent tune
Is but the song of my death hour..
Little dainty song bird
SIng my song again
And I shall sing to thee my last word...
And in our melodic tune we play
that o'er the land dost sweep
Our enchanting music shall fade away...
And in thy heart, my little friend
Thou voice so sweet and pure
Shall bring thine killers their emminant end
And live on; Thou shalt endure.
"I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so. "
~Edgar Allan Poe |
