Rest easy solemn knight.
The dawn will meet you surely
As the moon has kept you
Lit by the sun’s transgressing light.

Lay down bare to the earth
And meet her gently.
Relinquish all apprehension
And accept your unbirth.

Pass softly off the edge
And it may catch you.
But resist your demise
And into death you’ll be swept.
