night-walker's song

so now this clarity in unflawed glass

allows a truth that we must never bend

these are the days that far too swiftly pass

you'd challenge what is said just for its brass

words that would hurt but had no warmth to mend

so now this clarity in unflawed glass

not clear to us the road through the morass

nor what to do to change the downward trend

these are the days that far too swiftly pass

leaving us with no grace but drying grass

and sullen folk who will not comprehend

so now this clarity in unflawed glass

the wisest one looks foolish on his ass

nor will the servile bother to pretend

these are the days that far too swiftly pass

into the memory of the tardy class

as one more message that we cannot send

so now this clarity in unflawed glass

these are the days that far too swiftly pass
