Midway down the cliff I shiver ledged
No guard rail to stop me falling off
And there I’m stuck and fear to breathe or budge
Of my world, I ‘ve reached the final edge
The cliff is wet, the sea is wild and rough
Round the cliff, there is a narrow ledge
I cannot see enough to rightly judge
I must guess by watching green sea froth
As here I am fast stuck and fear to budge
I will move before the waves out-snatch
Lest in the ocean I am cruelly tossed
From the cliff on fearsome narrow ledge
Now the demons,gulls and merlins watch
For human souls who are both here and lost
Here I’m stranded and I fear to budge
What is round the corner on my path?
I am weak yet fear no holy wrath
Round the cliff, there is a narrow ledge
On that I risk a move; I cannot lodge
