So it knocks down the pins
Again and again
Till sickness rushes in
A bloody axe is still an axe
Is still death
For what?
Can that fury face the sun
To melt in light and sun
What joy in another world
Beyond our mortal pains
To explore outside the court
Beyond the cocktail parties
Into a changing land of beauty
For light
For light
There is something beyond
That tills the land.
Again and again
