    Sadness Grows Upon This Man

    Sadness Grows Upon This Man
    My mind was dreary as a shade;
    Eerie darkening I could feel.
    As cold and bleakness covered me,
    So did the dimness spread like plague
    o'er these frigid thoughts so real.
    I washed my mind of golden life,
    And faded into hell's dismay.
    Wickedness was all around me --
    Scourging as the mouth of Satan.
    Woe, my friends come no more my way.
    And so I'll go and leave this place;
    Go far away - forevermore…
    My body scattered 'cross the lea.
    Poetry will be my lullaby,
    And I will pass this way no more.
    My mind was dreary as a shade;
    Eerie darkening I could feel.
    As cold and bleakness covered me,
    Thus did the dimness spread like plague
    o'er these frigid thoughts so real.

    I washed my mind of golden life,
    And faded into hell's dismay.
    Wickedness was all around me --
    Scourging as the mouth of Satan.
    Woe, my friends come no more my way.

    And so I'll go and leave this place;
    Go far away - forevermore.
    My body scattered 'cross the lea.
    Poetry will be my lullaby,
    And I will pass this way no more.
