Cheerful Dirge |
| Hap mirthfulness! |
| — Oh! |
| joy of grand riddance; |
| Undress me my hauberk! |
| — the wyvern hath errant’d. |
| Ire of yore — bard of e’eryears — |
| I deem the brood hath wan’d — |
| fore’ermore?! |
| Fro the chasm of the bosom, bale I hand back. |
| Hark! |
| my dove — henceforth I bulwark thee! |
| - |
| Feathers of swans in my pillow — I cede my heart. |
| Make haste! |
| — I pray — respond my plea! |
| Lo! |
| — a sire of great awe — a knight of many battles! |
| …And of kinsmen weeping for the slain! |
| Please! |
| — heed my words; |
| In thy sorrow I will kiss thy tears — |
| In thy bliss I will take thee by thy hand — |
| The sapor of grapes thou shalt savor — |
| And harken the nightingale sing oh so blithely! |
| On his knees… A plea to harvest |
| roses; |
| No heed for the thorns yon count! |
| Wherefore this gildd proffer? |
| Wherefore not pay court to a maid |
| more fair? |
| - |
| Morn of a joyous day! |
| Hower 'twixt |
| weed! |
| Fertile desert! |
| Cheerful dirge! |
| Misery me not! |
| — man nor beast; |
| envy |
| me; |
| Lest 'tis an act of wont! |
| Many are the drapes that my past |
| bury — |
| Ineffable feeling indulgeth in battles! |
| Tisn’t what thou vambrace’st thy words with!!; |
| I bethink dotingly only thy weal — |
| Forgive me for deeming thee direfully — |
| Therein abdiding with thee |
| Yet I was a trifle daunt’d. |
| Is for me the grandest boon! |
