And under that moon, cleft,
split and departed bereft,
sat, in silence, lips stitched,
a bemuzzled wolf, bewitched,

enslaved by the whistling wind,
enchained by the sins he sinned,
aloof in the mocking crowd
that cursed him all too loud

to a life of failure encumbered,
a fool with wants outnumbered,
who tarries at cross-roads that call,
and utter wicked charms to enthral.

Forever will he be a servant,
intolerably blind, unobservant,
unseeing to the truth above:
that sundren moon of ruined love.
