This Is the Land

This is the land your light can no longer reach Through the mist, your beams cannot breach The fields, once green, now enshrouded in gray The blossoms, pristine, now in disarray This is the land your light has forsaken For the dusk soon enough has overtaken This land, my being, my deepest soul For but few precious moments did you console The moon is not enough for me The stars, concealed by mist So when this darkness overcomes me Of the sun I reminisce: Oh, I long for the glow Of your rays of gold That warmed me And let me see the beauty of the world For once
