Oh Envy, The Shadow Of The Dark
by Peter S. Quinn - May 5, 1999
Oh envy, the shadow of the dark
Come not to me and tell me nothing
Fore I shall only hear the singing hark
As each my pleasure shall onward sing
Your clouds be gone from each my steps
And pleasures only be in there instead
I do not mind each of the spider webs
Nor any discomfort from my daily bread
All I disgust is what is filled with envy
With darkish clouds that fall thereon
Fore then those eyes shall not clearly see
Clouds are all there without day or a sun
I forgive hatred thought and ill said word
And have none to tender their cold flame
He who tries, has himself, covered with dirt
Bestowed on his words: disgrace and shame
