Sweet Art Thou

Post by "Sayf Maslul"


Artist "Theatre Of Tragedy"



Swooning emotions smite my bosom -
I have in aptness depriev'd thy eyrie
Oh! - but ne'er alas; 
Fro many another a lass -
Lodge here fore'ermore. 
Dodge thither sable of yore!

Sonorous to my ears are the words form'd by thy tongue;
Conquer me! - Waylay me! - Swathe me 'twixt thy arms!
Make me sense the wine which is drunk by queens,
And let it flow white and full in tast o'er my lips.

Make me sense the wine which is drunk by kings,
And let it flow red and full in taste o'er my lips.

Lest this for me is a gay dream: 
Let it adamant be -
A dream that will sojourn eternally - 
Empty the flagon in me!
