From Outside a New Light

[Malu]

The song draweth nigh,
for the singer doth deceive
A pedestal or a throne Good
for a basket without weave Did you mean "basket without (a) weave" ?
To each seller is himself
Each himself to be sold Interesting
two penny for your strife, My two cents, a penny for your thoughts. And wouldn't it be two pennies, not two penny
all silver for half gold
Along and long tithe Along the long, reads weird
since the river gave gain gave gain, also reads weird
A dark shift that drives on
a soft shadow through the rain
From ashes to ashes Dust to dust
For we all must fall down This seems a bit uncreative
A slim glance at king's eye
A fist curled for king's crown I liked this

Didn't get the full story. Imagery was good, I think the story and meaning could be strengthened.
