|
Silent thou wandered the forest that night |
|
Stalked through the shadows, not a sound or sight |
|
The fullmoon was calling, thou could not sleep |
|
Nor find peace in thy grave, thy keep |
|
Flickering shadows embraced thee that night |
|
Embraced thee in darkness, caressed thee with might |
|
Thy hunger was pain, thy pain was lust |
|
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust |
|
":.My angel nocturnal |
|
Thou blessed be by night |
|
Shadows enthrones thee eternal |
|
With darkened glory and might:." |
|
Thy touch me enchanted |
|
My soul thee enseamed |
|
Everything that thee granted |
|
Forgotten sins thus gleamed |
|
Thy lust shrouded in darkness lies |
|
Covered with painful delight |
|
Hear my anguish, as prayer dies |
|
Lost as treasures, pearls of night |
