The following scene may seem very bleak,
But it captures the human quest to dream:
Monks bury a coffin at a ruined
Gothic abbey. It signifies the end
Of mortal life. Yet, hope and faith remain
In the promise of heaven\'s hallowed ways.
The procession moves amidst ancient, gnarled
Oak trees which tower above it. Life\'s hard;
Yet there is a faint light that never dies,
Which some cling to, and it glows in their eyes.
