In the living-room a man on a sofa is laying | |
Two strangers at the door and one is knocking | |
The man stands and opens the great wooden door | |
The one who knows the host tells the other visitor | |
An old man with top hat and a dark walking stick | |
Gets through the wooden door and says without a trick | |
“I want to buy the portrait of this old heroine” | |
“I'll never sell this one not even to a king” | |
“since he finished his last work | |
Percy's gone wild and casts strange lurks | |
Like a mad man who went too far | |
His oil is the cause let's take it afar” | |
“come back tomorrow” says the painter's friend | |
“Sir, maybe tomorrow in a sale it'll end | |
tonight, we'll try to make his mind change | |
and off with the oil, Sir, thou might get a chance” | |
“since he finished his last work | |
Percy's gone wild and casts strange lurks | |
Like a mad man who went too far | |
His oil is the cause let's take it afar” | |
All eve long young ones tried to convince him | |
To let the old man by this sale enrich him | |
The talks are loud and words are high | |
“Nothing to do but leave him tonight” | |
All alone the painter stares at his work | |
There's a woman face with dark and long hair | |
Percy takes a book and reads it aloud | |
“beautiful & perverse, Genuine a slave was made | |
Priestess of mysteries bought by a strange old man” | |
He falls asleep and the portrait comes alive | |
And dressed with black ribbons lays by his side |
