Tune Of The Soul
A melancholic tune, I hear, I hear,
And a suffering, suffering I choose, I choose.
So mortifying a tune, so severing a tune,
All vulnerable spots so burn on a fire; such cruel flames creating a tune.
Tune of truth, oh what a tune nobody knows, knows, knows,
The eternal tune, a sweet desire-tune, a wonderful heartfelt tune.
Burning in the cells of the soul, a spreading painful tune,
Fortress of darkness, darkness all; so capture and grow a tune.
Stored all grieves, so plucked and thrown, and serving happiness, a tune,
The chest of memory, kept so tight, all, oh breaking a tune.
What's the tune, what's the tune, soul so never grasps,
But it grows, grows in me; wondrous scenes oh shown.
