[ANEXO] – Death of God

[BNP/E3, 79 – 48]

 

Some on the way – as I had seen – did die

And tears and laughter was the other’s lot

But e’en their joy bespoke[1] their misery.

And behind those,[2] in the lit heavens’ rest,

Behind the clouds that in the sky did sleep,

The sun was failing, in the {…} West

For never was felt the murmur of the deep

And one pale star, distant and loveliest,

In the lone sky a tremulous |*ratel| did keep.
