Ode To Melancholy

Empyrium

Melancholy - still my desire for thy precious tragedian wine...





Sweep me away, into the vale of thine!


Where sorrow's strong and so is joy.





Melancholy - still my desire, O let my heart by thee inspire...





O fill the air with thy sweet scent,


let thy light, thy star crescent.





Wherever she dwells I will bid a farewell sigh


For she dwells with beauty - beauty that must die


And deep inside me I will wait for her return


To her enchanting, awe-inspiring flame I'll yearn





O lust and rueful thought be mine,


My soul enhanced, desires...


Melancholy - my heart is thine.
