To an unknown suicide
|
This stranger has departed Leaving no address His mouth full of wormwood And his teeth tightpressed (Anyone at all who Stakes his love and soul In his many wanderings Learns the secrets of it all Yet he wanders on Turning like a lighthouse beam In dead of night) This stranger has departed Leaving no address His mouth full of wormwood And his teeth tightpressed |
