Tongue of Grief                                                                                 

From the earth you came, and in the sun you shone,

To the earth, you name descent of flesh and bone,

In your hollow tolls the sound of journey’s close.

How you mourn, with not a single change in tone,

As the darker hollow takes the one Fate chose.

Pealing sorrow from your stony home on high,

Sing for what is buried, and what now can fly.
