Solemnity - Earth and Pillars

Destiny, the doom of time

For the passing is crystal

Yet the stone here lies

Thy sight, no eyes

Feel the spirit beyond its shine

Burn like a fire that never dies

For the solemn to Thy yell down bows

As Thy voice through the aether flows

For the silence of the ages Thou withstand

As the sound of Thy chant here descends

All things are long passed away and far

A light is shining but a distant star

From which it still comes to me

Has been dead a thousand years

Beneath the sky’s vast dome, I long to prey

Of all the stars there must be far away

A single star which still exists, apart

Alone has endured

All space commands

‘Tween white pillars

In the high heavens stands
