Yet closer comes the thing of Night --
No nonsense to delay
It knows that which must be done
'Fore coming of the Day
The Light -- Salvation -- near him comes
He feels it in his Heart
And yet a Darkness seems to grow
And keeps the Two apart --
At last -- a Weakness in him forms
And soon there is a Pain
Then comes the Darkness -- gone the Light
Body and Soul -- rent in twain.
