Her Bright Lament

Lonely lover, 

Queen of sorrow,

Cursed to hover

Till the morrow,

Stars above her

Slyly borrow

Her bright lament,


While ebbing tide

And rolling flow

Her will abide

And mercy know

As light years stride

And, lapping, go

Just as they went


For eons long

Before a time

When her sweet song

Did brightly chime

No right from wrong

Could poem rhyme

Nor love be lent


To unborn hearts

Yet to wonder

What love departs 

Midnight thunder

And play their parts

Basking under 

Her bright lament.
