Lenore - Edgar Allan Poe
Ah, broken is the golden bowl! the spirit flown forever!
Let the bell toll! -a saintly soul floats on the Stygian river -
And, Guy De Vere, hast thou no tear? -weep now or never more!
See! on yon drear and rigid bier low lies thy love, Lenore!
Come! let the burial rite be read -the funeral song be sung! -
An anthem for the queenliest dead that ever died so young -
A dirge for her, the doubly dead in that she died so young.
"Wretches! ye loved her for her wealth and hated her for her pride,
And when she fell in feeble health, ye blessed her -that she died!
How shall the ritual, then, be read? -the requiem how be sung
By you -by yours, the evil eye, -by yours, the slanderous tongue
That did to death the innocence that died, and died so young?"
Peccavimus; but rave not thus! and let a Sabbath song
Go up to God so solemnly the dead may feel no wrong!
The sweet Lenore hath "gone before," with Hope, that flew beside,
Leaving thee wild for the dear child that should have been thy bride -
For her, the fair and debonnaire, that now so lowly lies,
The life upon her yellow hair but not within her eyes -
The life still there, upon her hair -the death upon her eyes.
Avaunt! tonight my heart is light. No dirge will I upraise,
But waft the angel on her flight with a paean of old days!
Let no bell toll! -lest her sweet soul, amid its hallowed mirth,
Should catch the note, as it doth float up from the damned Earth.
To friends above, from fiends below, the indignant ghost is riven -
From Hell unto a high estate far up within the Heaven -
From grief and groan to a golden throne beside the King of Heaven."
My lost lenore - Tristania
Dancing heart I mourn
My lost desire
Dancing heart I mourn
Rape the soul forever For thy promise bewailedby her raveneyesby her beauty and a scarlet sunriseMay thy river bury her silvertearsA fallen angel... enshrined in moonlit seas Leaving vitalityso serene breeds my darknessEntreating winterwindsthough I leave... I embrace thee WinternightConceal thy precious angelloreI secrete my soulUnder thy wings of sorrowDark I embrace thy eyesWander lost on life's narrow pathI reveal my heartTo this beauty dressed in dark When my shadows devotetly cast
My moon will rise with lost Dancing heart I mourn
My lost desire
Dancing heart I mourn
Rape the soul forever Grieving raveneyesFalls asleep with the sunriseDelightful midsummer breezeThough I leave... I await thee WinternightConceal thy precious angellore…
Grant me thy last midsummer breezeMay thou ascend from endless sleep... my desireDance me above thy moonli seasGlance yearningly into the deepa cold and weary night WinternightDescending me like flakes of snowI embrace the coldFor a life that morrowsDark I embrace thy heartWanderer lost beyond veils of dawnI conceal thy lossEnthralled in life yet still I mournMy lost Lenore...
