dark the barred windows of my years
where horrors lay with tortured tears
did I not venture from my hoary nest
lineage now ridded of timeworn test
pestilence doth purloin love and age
veiling hearts and death in ruddy cage
inside is out, and out is within a crust
shielding the living from turning to dust
