Well Bokardo here we are	A
Make yourself at home	B
Look around you haven't far	A
To look and why be dumb	C
Not the place that used to be	D
Not so many things to see	D
But there's room for you and me	D
And you you've come	C
	-
Talk a little or if not	E
Show me with a sign	F
Why it was that you forgot	E
What was yours and mine	F
Friends I gather are small things	G
In an age when coins are kings	G
Even at that one hardly flings	G
Friends before swine	F
	-
Rather strong I knew as much	H
For it made you speak	I
No offense to swine as such	H
But why this hide and seek	I
You have something on your side	J
And you wish you might have died	J
So you tell me And you tried	J
One night last week	I
	-
You tried hard And even then	K
Found a time to pause	L
When you try as hard again	K
You'll have another cause	M
When you find yourself at odds	N
With all dreamers of all gods	N
You may smite yourself with rods	N
But not the laws	L
	-
Though they seem to show a spite	O
Rather devilish	P
They move on as with a might	O
Stronger than your wish	P
Still however strong they be	D
They bide man's authority	D
Xerxes when he flogged the sea	D
May've scared a fish	P
	-
It's a comfort if you like	Q
To keep honor warm	R
But as often as you strike	Q
The laws you do no harm	S
To the laws I mean To you	T
That's another point of view	T
One you may as well indue	D
With some alarm	S
	-
Not the most heroic face	U
To present I grant	D
Nor will you insure disgrace	U
By fearing what you want	D
Freedom has a world of sides	V
And if reason once derides	V
Courage then your courage hides	V
A deal of cant	D
	-
Learn a little to forget	D
Life was once a feast	D
You aren't fit for dying yet	D
So don't be a beast	D
Few men with a mind will say	W
Thinking twice that they can pay	W
Half their debts of yesterday	W
Or be released	D
	-
There's a debt now on your mind	D
More than any gold	D
And there's nothing you can find	D
Out there in the cold	D
Only what's his name Remorse	X
And Death riding on his horse	X
Well be glad there's nothing worse	Y
Than you have told	D
	-
Leave Remorse to warm his hands	Z
Outside in the rain	A2
As for Death he understands	Z
And he will come again	K
Therefore till your wits are clear	B2
Flourish and be quiet here	C2
But a devil at each ear	C2
Will be a strain	A2
	-
Past a doubt they will indeed	D
More than you have earned	D
I say that because you need	D
Ablution being burned	D
Well if you must have it so	D2
Your last flight went rather low	D2
Better say you had to know	D2
What you have learned	D
	-
And that's over Here you are	A
Battered by the past	D
Time will have his little scar	A
But the wound won't last	D
Nor shall harrowing surprise	E2
Find a world without its eyes	E2
If a star fades when the skies	E2
Are overcast	D
	-
God knows there are lives enough	F2
Crushed and too far gone	G2
Longer to make sermons of	H2
And those we leave alone	I2
Others if they will may rend	D
The worn patience of a friend	D
Who though smiling sees the end	D
With nothing done	J2
	-
But your fervor to be free	D
Fled the faith it scorned	D
Death demands a decency	D
Of you and you are warned	D
But for all we give we get	D
Mostly blows Don't be upset	D
You Bokardo are not yet	D
Consumed or mourned	D
	-
There'll be falling into view	T
Much to rearrange	K2
And there'll be a time for you	T
To marvel at the change	K2
They that have the least to fear	B2
Question hardest what is here	C2
When long hidden skies are clear	B2
The stars look strange	K2
