Autumn by Karina Dachauer

Sinking softly in the sand, Sybil secretly sang Until the sight of silver sails solemnly swam the scene What were those weary waker’s wants, and wither where they came— To watch white Sybil’s woeful wish and wait to want again? Then drawing dusk, the dark men daunt and doomed dear Sybil’s name And drank dew drawn from dreary husks among darned dreamers’ dame Now here we haunt hailed harems sought in haste we hardly have Honey hewed from heartless whores stoned whole on her behalf Stark stalling simple maiden fled to solemn sleeping stead So sorrow sought her soul to rot and sealed soft maiden’s bed My moral, mighty, marching men, malice marks your sin. For major mental members love madness that melts within So silver ships come soaring in to save sweet singer’s soul There Sybil sweeps the salty beach to shield pure so-called whores Their faultless, fatal, falling felt cold fearless faceted dain From fainting far fetched fiery males who feel foremost to gain. But gain they won’t by borrowed bout but boars they quick transmute For biding in brash boorish thought brings bitter breadth for brutes Now nearing newly naked dawn dreamt decent duchess’ came There dearly Sybil dared to draw sweet sailing maidens’ name For who had wept for wanting girls upon sad wasted gains When Sybil died with heart inside to prove mad men insane.
