Music of Melancholy
When the golden moon was in its heavenly bower,
I picked my flute and sat among the flowers.
I waited a while and felt the breeze,
The yet unsung tune came with ease.
I closed my eyes as I began to play,
So I could clearly picture that day.
On Sabbath morning many moons ago,
When we all left to be seen no more.
Under the hills and mounds we went,
Many a days in sadness spent.
Until we took a look around,
In the heart of darkness, beauty abound.
We built, we toiled,
Muddy and soiled.
At length stood a glorious home,
With a little help from the Gnomes.
Soon we grew accustomed,
And our courts were summoned.
“We, People of peace”, spoke the Queen,
“Shall wait here and never be seen.”
Under hallowed grounds we still roam,
Now something we can call a home.
We wait for the race of Adam to see,
>To awake from their long reverie.
Their eyes see not what we saw in that world so old;
The sun cannot warm their hearts so cold.
Hatred and reasoning will be their poisoned arrow;
Shot to each heart bleeding in sorrow.
But when the scales grow heavy,
And their seven seas get so wavy,
A truth shall be foretold,
And the awakening we will behold.
I closed my eyes as I played,
Awaiting that joyous day.
I stopped and opened them after a while,
I spotted my fleeting audience - so agile.
The deer and the toads under the shrub,
My thoughtful melody they seem to love.
The woods laid still in heavy silence,
I looked up at the yonder moon in reverence.
She looked so pale and so forlorn,
The golden sheen was now all gone.
With tears of pearl she said to me,
“That was the saddest song that will ever be!”
