To Eden

By: Whispers of Ember

Inspired by: Edgar Allan Poe

To Eden, thou gentle hand that led me 

Like a shepherd, teaching me to be

Thy beauty, thy smile,

Sweet like honey, calm as the silent pine

On dark and gloomy field, a way-worn wanderer roam

A heart that yearns for light’s bright rim

But thee come, thy voice turn to my light

And in thy light, my shadows grow dim.

Days of yore, no glimpse of thee

The wanderer has no light to see

In these dark halls, long wont to roam for thee

Thus, the wanderer was left alone under the dead tree.
