Today is a hard day for me,
Today again it's true.
My sorrow and my heart
Both, like my eyes, are blue.
The sky I see is greyer,
The water, not so clear.
Grief expends a fouler taste
On days not quite so drear.
I see rain where it is sunny,
And storm where it is fair.
My heart dictates the world I see
Once it deigns to care.

Today is a hard day for me,
I only want to cry.
My heart sinks farther as I sit,
Alone and watch the sky.
The shades of grey which cross as clouds
Will nevermore amaze
As facets on a broken sky
And harbinger of days
Which signifiy a great expanse
Of sorrow and of pain.
I know my honor and my sin
Will never be the same.
