They Always Say Of The Curse, But Never Do They Dare Speak Of A Remedy

Is The Song In The Same Darvish As The Circle That Therefrom Blames Your Simple Games?

Caspar David Friedrich — 011

All these foundlings

So tender in their days

Yet spoilt by the treason

Going around by their elder-kin

And spoilt a-kin on life;

An eager sunset broaches their heart,

Naught — for a minor,

It might be aught.

So swiftly do I be hearing

Of a curse — a binding curse,

And which they vaunt onto their

Minors;

They seize and they scrabble

But little do I hear of the in-roads —

Relying upon the despair in their hearts, rattling red —

Always the crime for a-suffering

And a-warring to begin —

They Always Say Of The Curse,

But Never Do They Dare Speak Of A Remedy.

A damning lullaby places itself into its untimely tune —

As a village elder decries another genitor —

Who must beget,

Must thee die before the middling birch;

A-praying and a-crying are often heard to be the blame

Yet when his tantalizingly stubborn bosom

Wrecks a shoulder asunder to blame —

To war or naught to war — ’tis their remarks,

Steamed and accounted for.

When a minor spotted shall be taking up

That idolizing blame for the father slew upon

Another jinxing battlefield —

Stormy and closed,

His corpse sinks evermore into mud and steel —

But wrought vengeance or culling fear

It besets his next of kin —

Another jinxing a-done —

All the crops could muster this debloom —

Are the holders however filled?

Ring…ring…;- quarter that bell

I hear the master shy —

Voicing naught, for the deceased —

For he just figures as much as,

And so must be —

Laughter sly —

Laughter morphs in the chamber, but the chamber remains to be the same —

Ringing ever swollen,

The fine tale is ever told by an aging man,

Slept in wrinkles, dowsed in tears,

Fearless without blame, and so he must be —

And this is one, told by such age —

Yet it isn’t him — only me to this.

A manning to war, I suppose it must be done,

And done, now, as it must.

Things disappear, and they lose their hearts in it —

Leaving the Baron as the stark whoreson to be

The Only led to a role

’Twas such a pity over this refining mitty;

Oscillated to reason, they prime themselves over

The priding war of it all,

Why such minor falls?

Clumping underhill like fallen logs,

Broached from the oak trees:

They Always Say Of The Curse,

But Never Do They Dare Speak Of A Remedy.
