Burning leaves in a dark hour From Dutch fields sweetest flower In spire me, turn these tears of old Into sweet rain that waters my soul May death to peace never be uttered Were befriending a foe cause discourse to flutter Like the flicker of a dying flame May self expression never fade me to shame For my sad thoughts miss gives some Empty peace, from whence they've come Understand do I not, for I choose not Some questions left to God that purpose forgot I defy my tears I defy my weakness That I may break thought jagged fears And overcome bitter bleakness The scorn of my minds undying questions Burns in confusion with each internal session May my need to understand never be too much to mention But now I must go, I have dropped a stone in this pool of reflection

Dutch fields
Burning leaves in a dark hour From Dutch fields sweetest flower In spire me, turn these tears of old Into sweet rain that waters my soul May death to peace never be uttered Were befriending a foe cause discourse to flutter Like the flicker of a dying flame May self expression never fade me to shame For my sad thoughts miss gives some Empty peace, from whence they've come Understand do I not, for I choose not Some questions left to God that purpose forgot I defy my tears I defy my weakness That I may break thought jagged fears And overcome bitter bleakness The scorn of my minds undying questions Burns in confusion with each internal session May my need to understand never be too much to mention But now I must go, I have dropped a stone in this pool of reflection
