Oh, night who else must be let bleed
The sun has shine no more and the moon in on dim
If I myself stay in this pain I will bleed out
with the night as they old poets do cry out your pains of the days
I do beseech ye, love of long ago that caught hold of my soul
I hear your cries every night and every hour
No instruments were sound but the rain showers
Oh, winters night why do you give such a fright?
Oh, the vulnerability of Love why do you bleed?
Who has cut you so deep to make your heart sink
Oh, dear poet, you noble ones make your swords rich.
