To all those who hear me
here’s my tale
To all those who know me
here’s my tale
beneath a veil
a face so pale
it breaks when it smiles,
ever so frail
it’s a tale
it’s a tale
not a maiden
it’s a tale
it breathes and it lives
it flits and it sails
treasures in a bale
it carries for the sale
leaving no trail
into the dark vale
do you know my tale
Alas! I must have failed
lost it in the rale
as life set to sail
The End so prevailed
I have lost my tale
do you know my tale?
Oh, do you know my tale?

What a humble expression of the inevitability of incompleteness in life, it’s a beautiful piece!
