The blood in the marrow
Keeps time with the passing days...
The stony cold of bones 
Craving for sun's life rays...

Deep down the throbbing chest 
A stone tosses for rest...
The twitching pang of darkness
Gurgles restlessly in its nest.

The womb patiently awaits 
Its seed of love and pain...
The milk of life overflows ...
Like warm blood in the veins.....

Cut off this wasteful plenty, 
Shut off all lights of day...
Give me back my summer...
Give me back my May.....

Give me back the string of pearls
All bobbling down the stairs...
Give me back my moonlight...
My dreams of a morning fair....

Or give me a bed of roses
Resting on humble leaves...
Give me the eternal darkness...
Give me my enchanted sleep .....
