...

They were late,
but dark is the heart of the host.
And not from
his eyes, will tears flow the most
But though late,
He is glad that the tears flow
maybe in
time, they will not be so slow
[the tale of] sacrifice
awakens other than flesh and bone
proving that
his heart, at least, is not yet stone
now to hope
and pray that he sets things aright
and undo
all wrong before the soul takes flight
