Ernest Slyman

Who Has Not Gone Queerly To Their Grave Who has gone queerly to their grave, and laid in drunken solitude, when so lewd and mean the day night and stars come cling around their knees, and pulled them down; and in a frenzy, told what lasts never lasts, all ends darkly and soon shall be born bright -- how the sinner's soul let out like the old gray cat hugs the moon.
