O shadowy beauty mine, when thou shalt sleep |
| [02:53.000] |
In the deep heart of a black marble tomb |
| [03:01.000] |
When thou for mansion and for bower shalt keep |
| [03:11.000] |
Only one rainy cave of hollow gloom |
| [03:49.000] |
And when the stone upon thy trembling breast |
| [04:01.000] |
And on thy straight sweet body’s supple grace |
| [04:17.000] |
Crushes thy will and keeps thy heart at rest |
| [04:25.000] |
And holds those feet from their adventurous race |
| [04:41.000] |
Then the deep grave, who shares my reverie |
| [04:50.000] |
For the deep grave is aye the poet’s friend |
| [05:00.000] |
During long nights when sleep is far from thee |
| [05:08.000] |
Shall whisper ah, thou didst not comprehend |
| [05:19.000] |
The dead wept thus, thou woman frail and weak |
| [05:35.000] |
And like remorse the worm shall gnaw ... |
| [05:47.000] |
...thy cheek |
