One shade of the moon
Had impaired the nameless heart
On ones cheek
Ever so sweetly paired
Tells of days of goodness spent
With ink and pen to write
Ones woes
To sit so lovingly in the know
Wandering lonely in a crowd
The coldness coming over me
Twenty years past my eyes grown weary
Watching not quite so dim’
As these silent nights walk in beauty....
Enemy faints as things remain the same’
Silent night’s strikes the lame
Surrounded in mounds of oceans of grace
O my soul I stand amazed!
Selecting my own society
Till I shut the door from fools
Till I could not see
The fool I had become to be!

"You are the brave who do not break
In the grip of the mob when the blow comes straight’
To the shattered bone; when the sockets shriek;
When your arms lie twisted under your back
Good men holding their courage slack
In their frightened pockets see how weak
The work that is done: and feel the weight
Of your blood on the ground for their spirits sake:
And build their anger, stone on stone:
Each silently, but not alone!"
