Who would not but sing, -- to build a lofty rhyme; He must float unto melodious tears haste! My soul has been but swept! Along the passes, oft till heavy hearts do faulter, o’ergrown with a doubt. Bellowing! Were ye not too fondly dreamt, the Cerberus! Alas! Enchanting brute’ ye preying on th’ deep, the thought spun laboriously, the devils thorns had bred this beast; birthed from depressious wanderings. How well to spend the flower of the loom and bind a lover’s bond to nothing more; than a fleeing star whose fond descent is brightest on the dying, of their echoing mourn, now I must return! You are no longer a rose, -- your petals have withered and absent the willow holds your corpse or was it mine, with wild rhyme; the frost has set in. Such to loss whom did lament; of tangled hair I have strictly spread my broken wings, and witnessed your pronounces of love. O glistering fatal lies touch not my trembling lips be inscribed with woe, last came and first did go, th’ Cerberus whose many faces share me whole, -- and devoured the sunken streams of melodies; which all belong to memories, frail on a distant shore. And every flower did but weep no more; Now, Gone, Henceforth you are decomposed, in the belly of that Melancholy Cerberus, -- O ye of monstrous mounts sleep not. |
