A/N: The last little poem I came up with for Burning Black so far. This is sung to a slowed down tune of My Shiny Teeth that Chip Skylark sang. This is the song that is heard from the sewers during the nights, freaking out people. It eventually brings them hope and plays a somewhat important role in Intolerable Light.
Heart of Dimmsdale
~*~*~*~*~*~*
In the morning sky,
Or in the ocean blue,
I look around
This dear old town
And I think of you.
We still ask why
As we live each day.
That awful call;
Oh, why'd you fall,
Why did you go away?
O Heart of the people!
Heart of this city!
A Heart so true
That it beat for you
And it beat for me!
O Heart in heaven!
Smiling from above!
How did so much joy
Come from one small boy?
He had the heart to love!
So we must remember
All those happy times!
We'll laugh and play
Through each lonely day
In the warm sunshine!
He was a tiny ember
With a golden glow!
Now let's start a fire
With his last pyre
To let our boy know!
O Heart of Dimmsdale!
We still love you!
We'll keep hope alive;
It won't take a dive
Long as we dream like you!
O Heart of Dimmsdale!
Though we're far apart,
We'll share your goal,
Fulfill the role
Of your magic heart!
In our darkest hour,
We'll draw on the power
Of the Dimmsdale Heart!
(The Dimmsdale Heart!)
The Dimmsdale Heart!
