The Melancholy Spirit |
| It was in this haunted place under a moonless cloak of ebony |
| I was drawn to the glow of a young spiritess weeping in the woods |
| The blackest ravens and ice-veiled boughs |
| Have spoken of you, goddess of these bleak woods |
| I yearn for your embrace, spiritess of the melancholia |
| Show me, again, your sweet face |
| Enchant me with your rich, cinder burnt ether |
| Lure me into your arms and bless unto me eternal death |
| She had spoken to the dawn |
| Her words wisped in tongues of the wind |
| And then silence… |
| Pale clouds betrothed the dawn |
| Black rain fell |
| The birds wore masks |
| The haunting stain of her woe |
| Had burned itself into the oak |
| Night had gone |
| Bereaved, I was torn for her |
| One last time I witnessed her beauty in the distance |
| The arms of the trees tore at her morbid gown swaying in the loathsome winter |
| breeze |
| She faded before my eyes |
| Since that day a thousand veiled birds have taken flight |
| And the melancholy rain still pours forever on… |
