My grandfather melted away br And resolved himself into a dew. br That mountain of a man br Now left asunder br A titan falling br And quaking the earth below br He was my hero br Now vanquished br By time br By smoke br And by Mr. Parkinson. br Now perhaps, I wish br He holds a greater light br Above the stars br And illuminates br My life from ages to come br My devoted Y-linked friend br And I, the inheritor br Of his devotion's past.
