~~~Thou Twilight Trickster 

Thou sparrow singeth, in thy twilight moon
Beauty echo forth, he sings his own way
Thou other sparrows , sing only at noon
Thy haunted sparrow, abhors thy fine day!

If you close your eyes!
If you close your eyes!
You’ll hear him wailing! 
The Sparrow who died!
From birds thou judging!

Upon dark midnight, thou sparrow awakes!
Sings his trickster ode, - the other birds shake!

Thou sparrow singeth, in such twilight moon
Beauty echo forth, sings in moonlit - grey
Thou other sparrows, sing only at noon
Thy trickster sparrow, abhors thy fine day!

If you close your eyes!
If you close your eyes!
You’ll hear him screeching! 
Sparrow so - alive!
From birds thou judging!

Upon dark midnight, thou sparrow awakes!
Sings his trickster ode, -the other birds shake!


~~~Minstrel’ - Fate Entwine

Mercy calleth me, to my fate of fates
The world is stuck in, their divination
Mercy beckons me, to my fate of grace!
The sword plunders forth, the meek are chosen

The mercy is nigh!
The mercy is nigh!
Fools make endless riddles!
But proverbs are wise!
The bible says love!
Mercy cometh nigh! 

Mercy callers me, to my fate of fates
God’s lovingkindness, to every nation
Mercy so loves me, to my grace of fate!
The bible pours forth, words like a fountain

The grace draweth nigh!
The grace has drawn nigh!
Fools talk in farthings!
The wise -proverbs shine!
The Bible says love!
Mercy cometh night!


~~~The Tarrying Man

Thou tarrying man, shall sojourn no more
Through thy world of woe, he shall pilgrim through
Onward to heaven’s gates! Thy burden’s no more
Lord have mercy on, thy pilgrim stayed true

Pilgrim to heaven!
Pilgrim to heaven!
Through this life of woe!
Though Satan shall strike! 
ill leaven hastens!
Trust in pure Christ!
Diminish the Foe!

Thou tarrying man, shall sloth no more hence
Through thy world of woe, he shall pilgrim through 
To heaven’s estates! And burdens been left.
Lord have mercy on, thy pilgrim stayed true

Pilgrim to heaven!
Tarry to heaven!
Through this world of woe!
Temptations shall strike!
ill leaven hastens!
Trust in pure Christ!
Diminish the Foe!

3 Renaissance Medieval Minstrel Odes

~LYRICS:

Doth ye crazed minstrel? weaving ever forth
sultry saunteries, Christ be ye true North!
sunlight and moonbeams, glinting heart's love far!
music-boxing heart, minstrel under stars!

Thou minstrel saunters!
minstrel frolicked-past!
hear the joyful tune!
before minstrel's past!
weaving ever forth!
melodic sassafras!
ye minstrel frolicked past!

Melodic Sassafras

~~~Reeds shall not be bruised, because Christ is near,
Thy flax be stayed, mercy ever near
Lord thy fields crave thee, thine pastures are yours!
Thy reeds and thy flax, ever we are yours! 

Patient Father hear!
Patient Father hear!
Our pleading amens!
Our pleading amens!
Mercy trickled wax!
(We are) Delicate candles!

Regeneration , ever-candles burning
Sanctification, ever reeds-trusting
Joyful redemption, your pastures of cheer ! 
Patient affliction, heaven draweth near!

Judgement day coming !, washed in your blood!
Lamb of sacrifice, bowed in your nearness!
Judgement day coming! Washed in your blood!
