a hill to die upon - a jester arrayed in burning gold lyrics
“tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
we are not now that strength which in old day
moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
one equal temper of heroic hearts
made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
[+ alfred, lord tennyson, ulysses 65+70]
share not the cup i have wantonly sipped:
the cradle that has been finally tipped
in fool’s garb do i before thee appear
with signs and sounds fit for stirring fear
yet the mask hides what is truly between
my emerald еyes and the jewеls that are seen
first we eat, then we drink
then we sing ourselves ho+rs+
to the ever brightening sun
tread ye not, now, where i have failed
that spirit has flown, that ship has sailed
my feet have failed to dance the steps
and for bare bones i have loved and wept;
arrayed am i in burning, trojan gold
for the sake of he who’s name i hold
first we eat, then we drink
then we sing ourselves ho+rs+
to the ever brightening sun
