Wicked Ears

A cozy coffin, a rainy day, 
a swinging corpse now half decayed, 
the gallows' gathered murder's caws, 
and in my grave, I stop and pause
and listen to the evening's song.
What song! Oh how for darkness I do long,
but till the sun falls in the sea, 
I must stay here; may hear, not see. 
What great darkness hides in the light
what wicked deeds keep from my sight, 
and all I get to know, I learn by sound
all faintly heard here underground.
