Ever shall my heart adore you
`Cross the boundaries of time
Always will my love endureth
Over mountains yet to climb
...
O gentle as you please, my love,
I am yet still a maiden
And ‘though I yearn to know your will
My heart is heavy laden
...
The pale moon floats through demon skies
Her aspect cold and eerie
Against the raging storm she vies -
Her heart thus ever weary
...
Each one gives, each one takes
Sometimes loves, then foresakes
Each one wins, each one fails
...
A bleak wind blows, and all in sorrow dwell,
the fractured earth sings out her requiem -
upon her form, unquenched, a raging hell,
around her head, a fading diadem.
...
O come sweet June, my lovely June
The month when first the roses bloom -
A wondrous, colourful display
By sunlight kissed throughout the day,
...
My love, my love, no scented flower
Could smell so sweet there in my bower -
No stars could yet adorn the night
Nor sun, nor moon, e`er shine so bright
...
Tender beats the heart that whispers
Through the darkness of the night
Ling`ring in the silent shadows
Utt`ring words to yet take flight
...
Her ashen face upon the pillow lay
As then the light upon her hair did play
With sadness borne, my Muse, she died today
...
I am the perfume full caught by the breeze
The fragrance that drifts through the air -
Attar of Roses soft borne on the wind
With Night-scented Stock lingering there
...
