| [slm] Leaving all I must depart Alone. He came, Muhammed, may Allah grant him peace Yet I saw him not. Then he was gone. Truly free was I then The world my bourne. I saw him not Nor his sad passing mourn. And great joy came, and liberty, and all my words On rumour’s lips cast across the sky. On wings of pleasure did I fly My gods of joy raised so high And the Old Ones grew weak And seemed to die, and Islam fell. I loved my friends and hated my foes Before death took them all. Did I fail to see that it Would take me too? And did I think that my gods would care? And did I think that I could fare Well enough in The stern test yet to come? He came, Muhammed, may Allah grant him peace Yet I saw him not. Then he was gone. Too late I saw him then Yet still was blind. I saw him not Nor what he left behind. And great sorrow came, and death, and all my words Fell to silence gone Into the earth. I see them now My family standing there And my friends. And WHO IS YOUR GOD? Mother, father, turn and see. Hear me, friend, it is me. Yet WHAT IS YOUR FAITH? I know not, I do not know. Please leave me, do not pain me so. WHO WAS HE, THE ONE SENT AS A MERCY TO THEE? May he be granted peace, he came Yet I cannot see…I know not his name. Burning then. A primordial scream As my ribs are crushed And my sentence begins. [wlm] |
