We saw the heavens break and all the world go down to sleep

and rocks on mossy banks drip acid rain from craggy steeps

Saw fiery angels kiss the dawn

Wish you goodbye till further on

Will you still be there further on?



And troubled dynasties, like legions lost, have blown away

Hounds hard upon their heels call to their quarry-- wait and play

Before the last faint light has gone

Wish you goodbye till further on

Will you still be there further on?



The angry waves grow high-- cut icy teeth on Northern shores

Brave fires that flicker, cough-- give way to winds through broken doors

And with the last line almost drawn

Wish you goodbye till further on
