Heartless beloved, the evening star
Did fall for thee to make a wish;
Under thy eyes grey towers burn
And knights forsake their gallantry…
To hope's end and heart's breaking
Thy cursed beauty lies beyond;
Through woven woods in Elvenhome
The murmur of the mourning ghost!
To hope's end and heart's breaking
Another hero's opiate dreams:
I'll see you there if you be true
And say you love me like I do!
Elysian fields the Goddess kissed:
The sacrament, ambrosia,
Thy cruel lips would never yield
For fear of Cupid's archery…
To hope's end and heart's breaking,
Across the desert of thy heart;
To stain the velvet sheets of night
The ancient constellations stride!
To hope's end and heart's breaking
The opium house of my dreams:
I'll see you there if you be true
And say you love me like I do!
