For it's Gsuch a lovely Eday,
To have to Amalways feel this Eway,
& the Amtime that CI will Fsuffer E7less,

Is when I never have to wake
Wandering Amstars,C  
For Fwhom it is reE7served,
                G              E        Am(  E7)
The blackness of darkness, forever

AmThose who have Cseen the needles Feye now E7tread,
GLike a husEk, from which all Amthat was now has Efled,
& the AmmaskCs, that the Fmonsters E7wear,
To Gfeed, uEpon their Amprey
Wandering Amstars,C  
For Fwhom it is reE7served,
The Gblackness of Edarkness, forAmever

 Taunted ,  cruel . . .
Wandering Amstars,C  
For Fwhom it is reE7served,
The Gblackness of Edarkness, forAmever
