i came to a mansion
in my dreams
and there i met
a woman so fair
i asked her
of your whereabouts
have you seen the
dove of joy asked i
o he is the
crow of blackness
screaming loudly
in the next room
in pitch darkness
perched atop a
lantern which bears
no light

and lo i went
to him
and found him
coooing songs of
love housed in
splendid colours
all brilliantly
revealed
by the glow of
his bright lamp
