Deserted heroes



The silent tombs
The silent night
Meets in silence
Before the morn wakes

Lights not above
Their gentle glowing wings
Hover around the grasses to see

Eyes without bodies
Sounds within their abodes
And on the streets
The least step unclear

The silent trees
The silent night
Meets to whisper
Into time indefinite

Its leaves stay behind
Unwritten tales
Unsaid ballads
Of the great celebrated heroes
All to tell

Who alone
In their silent and icy graves
Will soon wish the morn to wake

Statues in front of tombs
Full of tears overflowing
Tears that speak not to dead souls
But resurrected souls
Even from afar
Decorated tombs
Engraved black star in gold
The pleasant greens and their fragrance
On the reddish floor
Which the far and near
Praised and hailed

Yet they stand here
With the silent tombs alone
The silent night
Under the watching sky
Full of the breezes
To meet in silence
Before the morn wakes.
