Go now, go -


Here is the sanctuary, the well,
Deserved resting place of fear
Not the days passed, they are
But the shrinking shadows
Of forbidden gateways
To undesired hideaways.  

Go now, go –
It is time to rest and time to wither
Go now, go –
It is time to yawn and time to fade

Here is the chalice, the vessel,
Upon cloudy seas to sail
Between whitecap and hail
The sands that welcome
Your lonely anchor
At last your restless soul.

Go now, go –
It is time to drink and time to fast
Go now, go –
It is time to flood and time to sink

Here is the stage, the glen
For your solitary play
Masked in the crepuscule
 Of your final day
Canter to the measure
Of time’s endless sway.

Go now, go –
