How Overcast The Earth When Men Must Keep Their Jobs

how overcast the earth when men must keep their jobs
and let the Dragon live where what is to be done is nothing
but the lucrative

not mention to the one dim rising star

where God is I am though it be too hard
let brimstone leak where man soft hour by hour
let the Dragon the lost town devour

than speak one word of comfort to the few
who stand in wind and fire to spoil the view
how overcast, how sorrowful the Sun

that casts itself into a summer sea
and would forever for true liberty
and for the sake of love, Christ's love unending

lose all

lose all
lose all.
