Through grey mist, heavy rain

Captures a ringing, softened glow,

Peering out of them, another tragedy -

As if we couldn\'t hear it.

 

Their drifted joy,

Through the fog, on paths;

Several fires, winding, crumbling,

Wooden shapes to mask their nature.

 

Once, maybe, they were,

Here, there, around - laughing,

Singing, in spite, but now;

White majesty, no sound.
