THERE'S A VEIL ON THE CHINK

There’s a veil on the chink

Let the pain flood in

Embalm the ugly gashes

There’s a veil on the chink

Behold the bud blossom

Sunny rainbow blushes

There’s a veil on the chink

Let the soul seep in

Rain soaked mud mashes

There’s a veil on the chink

See how the wind breaks in

How the torrent lashes

There’s a veil on the chink

I cannot glimpse in

And soothe the bygone slashes

There’s a veil on the chink

Stillness smothers echoes

Sighs the solitary spring

How the chime of joy

Dead silence hushes
