- Arise from Dreams of Thee
I arise from dreams of thee
In the first sweet sweep of night,
When the winds are breathing low,
And the stars are shining bright.
The nightingale's complaint,
It dies upon her heart,
As I must die on thine,
- Brief Even As Bright Brief Eve
The flower that smiles today
Tomorrow dies
All that we wished to stay
Temps and then flies
What is the worlds delight?
Lightning that mocks the night
Brief even as bright
- Cease Sorrows Now
Cease, sorrows, now,
for you have done the deed,
Lo, Care hath now
consumed my carcase quite.
No hope is left,
nor help can stand instead,
For doleful death
- Dusk and Void became alive
And nothing more that keeps its sense
fire looses its warmth and its light
The truth is lost behind a fence
cannot show what is wrong and what’s right
Just silence stays forevermore
to be an only friendly guest.
To be a keeper of the lore
- Futile Belief
In the evening call for him
Waiting for the good life he may bring
It won't come to you
He doesn't hear for you
In your darkness beg for hope
Waiting for the good thins he may bring
They wont come to you
- In Darkness Let Me Dwell
In Darkness Let Me Dwell
Sorrow, stay! Lend true repentant tears
To a woeful wretched wight.
Hence, despair with thy tormenting fears
0 do not my poor heart affright.
In darkness let me dwell,
the ground shall sorrow be;
- Maters Of Wide Agony
Many the green isle needs must be
In the sea of misery
Or the mariner who's so worn and won
Never thus could voyage on
Day and night, and night and day
Always drifting on his dreary way
Always been drifting on his dreary way
- Misery
Come, be happy and sit near to me,
Shadow-wested, shadow-wested misery,
Unwilling silent bride
Mourning in thy, in thy robe of pride
Come, be happy and sit near to me,
Sad as I may seem, sad as I may seem to thee
I'm happier far than thou,
- Mistrust
My thoughts are wingd'd with hopes, my hopes with love.
Mount love under the moons's night... the moon in clearest night.
And say as she doth in the heavens move,
In earth so wanes my delight, so wanes and waxeth delight.
And you-u my thoughts, that my mistrust do carry.
If for mistrust my mistress do you blame.
Say though you alter, yet you do not vary,
- On a faded violet
The colour from the flower is gone,
Which like thy sweet eves smiled on me
The odour from the flower is flow,
Which breath of thee and only thee
A withered, lifeless, vacant form,
It lies on my abandoned breast,
And mocks the heart which yet is warm
With cold and silent rest.
- Praise blindness eyes
Praise blindness eyes, for seeing is deceit
Be dumb vain tongue, words are but flattering winds.
Break heart and bleed for there is no receipt
To purge inconstancy from most men's minds
And if tine ears false heralds to thy heart.
Convey into thy head hopes to obtain.
Then tell thy hear ring though art deaf by art,
- Sad silent Home
Away the moor is dark beneath the moon,
And rapid clouds have drunk day's last pale beam,
Gathering winds will call darkness so soon,
Will call the darkness so soon.
Away, away to thy sad silent home,
Pour bitter tears on its desolated hearth,
Watch the dim shades as like all ghosts they go,
- The Serpent's Voice
There was once truth in what you spoke
But teased by doubt alone
I hear the serpent voice inside me
Sands of time will now dissolve
I cry for truth from where I stand
But growing lies my reply
I bought my ship of dreamy pictures
- Unreal Mystery
And the billows of clouds
That roll around you shall sleep
In the light of wondrous days
Where hell and heaven shell leave
You free to the universe of destiny
This world’s the nurse of all
Of all we know and the coming
- Winters night
The sky won't be blue again
The scent of meadows forever gone
Fading cries, a colden reign
The magic land of sparkling snow...
Enchanting beauty in its pride
A mystic stranger, softest might
A sad and colden nameless bride
