Dark Ships by Erurainon

Dark Ships

Old age doth,
With raven might,
Uproot madness with love’s sight,
And so they pass,
And so we pass,
But dark ships parted through the night.
Because young men feel with naught but sight,
And act to move wrong with spite,
They do not pass,
They may not pass,
Like dark ships parted through the night,
And wise fools know that deaf is light,
And blinding passions war contrite,
They will to pass,
We drown and cast,
Dark ships parted through the night,
And where the knell of doom is rung,
Upon the clock-work hated height,
Take me now,
O take me now,
Dark ships parting through the night.
Dream,
Dream ye children of the right,
If life be death,
And death be life.
