Mourning Dove Poem by Svanhildur Njálsdóttir

Just another prick to the finger
Another needle in the eye
Just another life in danger
Another reason to cry
Another liar to love
and another lover to die

Just another plan for the future,
another funeral for the past
Just another baited lure
Another smile that won't last
Another deaf angel above
and another moment gone too fast

Just another crying widow
another dying sinner
Just another blackened window
another lonely dinner
Another mourning dove
and another loser without a winner

Just another faded memory
another wayward son
Just another forgotten story
another deed done
Another empty glove
and another one to run

Rest In Peace
