Bring Forth Ye Shadow |
| Time is an abyss — |
| Profound as a thousand nights; |
| I sojourn my haste, I make respites |
| For what availeith this eager pace? |
| One step more naught to face |
| Save the heirloom fatal kiss |
| I rave no more 'gainst Time or Fate |
| For lo! |
| my own shall ne’er come to me |
| Yet! |
| — Who doth my future narrate? |
| Dim the lights — I cannot see! |
| Bring forth ye Shadow! |
| - |
| With whom danceth thou? |
| Time hath stopp’d — |
| Yet for others ne’er halteth; |
| For me the Pages of Life do not turn |
| Lo! |
| — on the funeral pyre they burn |
| The oh so eathing Velvet Darkness they fear — |
| Heed! |
| — wherefore delve a burrow |
| When in my arms «O! |
| Come here»? |
| - |
| I say, elsewhither is naught but sorrow! |
| For what deemest thou so dear thy blood |
| When through my veins it could flood? |
| - |
| Bide to merry — make me unaptly; |
| And hence grant me the fell gift |
| The gift of passing on the dark trick |
| 'Tis such a brazen act of erotic; |
| Trifle for thee, yet for me grandly thrift |
| O! |
| such an innocence depriv’d so hastily — |
| Alas, for what deemest thou so dear thy blood |
| When through my veins it will flood? |
