My birth is sleep, my life is night

```

Unknown my life shall die, unknown.

I breathe unseen my ceaseless moan.

My birth is sleep, my life is night.

I drink an empty hope’s delight.

Silence-sea and dancing waves of Grace

Long lost have I in my backward race.

And now my escaping breath I see

Captured by strangling Eternity. ```
