lyrics

Break of day I pick my plots
Brilliant schemes will come to naught
Night descends I turn my poses
Lay my plots with hollowed roses

Come the day which plot still stands
The one to which I lent pure hands?
Loathe to wager on my soul
Fearing light of smouldering coals

Fear now not for days be mild
Stealing time for fleeting smiles
Night will come to challenge stride
For in the dark impulses ride
Steeping life with heartfelt crimes
To trudge with us in light

Empty plots no crop to graze
I deigned to wander through the haze
To noble gardens gently grown
Where I did lay 'mong blessed roses
