A quotation from Edna St. Vincent Millay

Stranger, pause and look;
   From the dust of ages
Lift this little book,
   Turn the tattered pages,
Read me, do not let me die!
   Search the fading letters, finding
   Steadfast in the broken binding
All that once was I!

It just occurred to me that my favorite poem is in the public domain which means it is free to use as lyrics for your next melodic metal banger. It's got falcons, mist, getting lost, thunder... it's perfect. Get busy you lazy bastards #poetry #metal #millay
