And Sorrow spurns his steps,
Of punishment in following

The wind buffets his soul,
As though from the Fallen One's
Wings in Cocytus' icy hole.

Hoisted like a paltry thing,
He sobs under the crosspiece loop.

From the sun-beaten sky.

A noose is worn around mine.
And if nights bring
Atheists from the sky,
Then my end is surely nigh...
