In The River Styx - Meinrad Craighead
Ancient allforgiving tree,
O would that your boughs could bend
for the lowly likes of me
Still; allyielding be
Pearls to swine ye never lend,
ancient allforgiving tree
Eyes unclouded see
Fraying blindfold, ever mend
for the lowly likes of me
Mythic tragedy
One more Hero's Journey penned,
ancient allforgiving tree
Pay the boatman's fee
Once more 'round the river bend
for the lowly likes of me
Sweet purgatory
Sentenced to your garden tend,
ancient unforgiving tree,
for the lowly likes of me.
