Unable to perceive right from wrong
Oh! How long… how long
Whence the time would be forever lost.

Heavens came my way
But tides kept me astray
Alas! Such was their power
A deluge, not a trickle or a shower.

How I now wish
The clock had stood still
I could have clasped those precious moments
Before my life just withered and ebbed away.

Now as I stand far from myself
Look back and say
Where was I?
Where was my soul?

That beautiful, blessed day
When Heavens came my way.
