In the beguiling romance of a flower
as it grows like lichens up a tower
A melancholic thought does rise,
born deep into the grey-green eyes
of a boy, who's song he forgot how to play.
So alone he sits, indoors all day.
The thought itself does manifest
into homesickness of the family crest
a malady of ferocious discord
from into which the boy had been born,
It was not an affliction that is caught.
Dreaming of life, this boy is from the north.
