Perdition

by lonna blodgett

With heart that feigns to be a slave to deeds
That mourn my life and ousts the face of peace
These sad bells ring with tears for now I grieve
And bow my head because I cannot cease

I choose the weight of ton and gloom of ache
To lay in watch and mark the clock rush slow
The pang of rail, the strike of steel to take
With one foot in the pit of grave songs woe

The sun has but to trade the dark to light
But lost and fixed its loft clings far too high
As cold and cloud have barred its light from sight
It breaks this heart with bleak sad grief I cry

Bound and caged I have penned my last good bye
To spare this soul in dread to spurn or die
