Above the dark there is no relieving star
The hopeless, pathless hours forget
Hollowed blackness of the waste
Kindled from the nether hell
The beasts with which they breed;
Noisome numerous varmints their lusts require
Gashing from a venomous womb
Pyres stain the Milky Way
Knots of serpents in their hair
Plot man’s shape
Ascend to marble stare
The dead exult.
