Echoes Dying

January 24, 2020 by posted by Mary C. M. Phillips

Written with a little poetic inspiration from Alfred Lord Tennyson’s, The Splendour Falls on Castle Walls:

Listen or Download

Moon rich sky, I feel each
phase of time go by
long and high, I hear them echo by

Richer than the bluest blue
of velvet skies
I hear them echo by, echo by

Echoing dying, dying, forever dying

Echoes part in two from
heart to heart, two heartbeats
lost in time, echo by

Echoing dying, dying, forever dying

Taken by the hand with
no reply she sees
all her hopes and dreams
echo by

Echoing dying, dying, forever dying
forever and ever and ever…

Inspired by Alfred Lord Tennyson’s The Princess
