“So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day

Nothing gold can stay”

When Innocence was so

Lost in the Garden of Eden

The sun of youth sank

Below the horizon of hope to

A sky draped in grief

A future so

Uncertain cannot promise dawn

Yet so it goes

Onward and upward and down

In search of something to

Give meaning to the day

And if it comes to nothing

The sun’s gold

Light can

Fade but let innocence stay
