Alex Telesca Transcribed and encoded a poem The Purification THEY have gone over, the god, the friend, the lover They have gone over. It is growing grey now; There comes the end of day now. 5 They were signs then, the stars were a glory for men, They were signs then. Those lights flare unseen now, Things paltry and mean now. 5 They were true pleasure, the friendly trust, the praise without measure. They were true pleasure Praise is an empty sound now. Trust treads no firm ground now. 5 They were music, joy, and truth, the kisses she gave him in youth. They were music, joy, and truth. They are less beautiful now; They are but dutiful now. 5 Aye, they have come to an end, the god, the lover the friend; They have come to an end. The soul is alone now: Strong, naked, full-grown now. 5 Richard Church
