A worthy inspiration..

Sadder than the eyes of sorrow,
are they who cannot weep-
More tearful than a burning shame,
is the love we never seek-

Silver apples will not melt their
heart, nor a feast fit for a king-
Oh, what joy has passed us by when
we have no song to sing-

What keeps a heart alive in this dark
world of desperation-
Die once, die twice, without a worthy
inspiration~
