Villanelle 1: My Sisyphean quest

Betwixt the land of day and realm of night

the murky mist in dream leads me astray.

The paths affront lie hid beyond my sight.


I trail the steps of your ethereal sprite,

who through the shadows shines the only ray

betwixt the land of day and realm of night.


At th’end of each my chase your blinding light

inflames all traces yours at break of day.

The paths affront lie hid beyond my sight.


The woe awakes and sleeps my sole delight.

Before the next pursuit, my heart does stay

betwixt the land of day and realm of night.


The heartless day dies, my heartbreaking night

revives until once more you me belay.

The paths affront lie hid beyond my sight.


Through endless fruitless quests this mortal wight

does not despair, drinks dew along the way

betwixt the land of day and realm of night,

though paths affront lie hid beyond my sight.
