Even in the threat of an ugly darkness
Allayed only by the sprinkled stars in fineness
Even in the fear of a dreadful nightmare
Averted only in soothing spiritual care
Even in the purported poison of a last dinner
Avoided only by the choice of another finer
Even in the imminent falling of dagger
Attempt stopped only divinely to prevent danger
This life was never on a borrow
The sun will shine tomorrow
