good morning in the evening
i wish you joy in the weeping

i will not end my watch this night

in the middle of my grieving
when i fall into sleeping

silent prayers recite

what news will greet me in the dawning
eyes are heavy from the mourning
heart is filled with voiceless longing
a cry for peace and justice turning

to set the world to right
