The raven crows
Under twilight’s glow
Silent screams pierce night’s cloak
Muted tears at the midnight stroke
Requiem’s vale
In shadow’s veil
Where engraved stones wail
A beautiful lily of the lamplight[1]
Takes the butterfly’s flight
To where angels tread
Reunited family threads
Words said
As the pastor breaks bread
You and your daughter’s silhouette dance
As if by perchance
Alone in the dark
The raven crows
Under twilight’s glow
