WAITING FOR THE UNKNOWN

 

                   

   



















                                    I am fearful of future 

                            Hopeful of coming hours

                            Yes, it is human nature ;

                            Even the traitor sent to the Tower

                            Will dream of Elysian Bowers ;

                            We are like waiting pilgrims

                            For the late arriving train 

                            Uncertain of our destination ;

                            And once it comes, as usual it seems

                            And yet the coming of it sustains

                            Our craze, child-like, with flitting gaze.

   1)  Tower = A royal fortress used as a state prison for heretics.

  2)   Elysian Bowers = A place of perfect bliss where noble souls go.
