Ella and Eidelvard: Cantos XXVII-XXXI

by Cosmic Poet Simon Pole

XXVII

At the roof the last one hove,
That tendriled wraith, it who strove,
With a madness shrieked untame,
To make clear their mission’s aim:
“A murderer proud am I,
Delighting in those who die,
Never once ruing the day,
When your house I sought to slay.
