Eight feet beneath gallows hole,
a measure for a dawn.
the rope of snaking coiled pole,
constricted curtains drawn.
Obscures a light within the soul,
till too difficult to carry on?
Sadness fills our void with tears,
it eats the heart and mind.
All good things they come to pass,
with bad things intertwined.
Struggling and serpentine
same of mind and meet,
for both they seem to collude
scheme just for your defeat.

According to the Chaldeans the source of all evil was the heavens, one of the 'two' heavens, that one which was the night time sky. This evil was found in the actions of men, their hearts or sufferings and could only be expunged by magic. It was dangerous to be out at night for the heaven of the night was the great celestial serpent always searching for victims.
The snake that stalks the pole is a reference to the serpent of heaven who
rounds the axis of earth(pole). Some mythologies has a northern and southern serpent or twins serpents as the sky in each holds different stars.
