作词 : Theatre of Tragedy | |
He gave to her, yet tenfold claim'd in return - | |
She hath no life but the one he for her wrought; | |
Proffer'd to her his wauking heart - she turn'd it down, | |
Riposted with a tell-tale lore of lies and scorn. | |
Prophetess or fond?, | |
Tho' her parle of truth:"I ken to-morrow - refell me if ye can!", | |
Yet the kiss and breath - | |
Apollo's bane - | |
Sëer of the future, not of twain,"Sicker!", quoth | |
Cassandra. | |
Still, is she lief and quaint in his eyne, a sight divine? - | |
A mistress fuell'd by his prest haughtiness - | |
If he did grant, wherefore then did he not foresee, | |
Belike egal as it to him might be?! | |
Prophetess or fond?, | |
Tho' her parle of truth:"I ken to-morrow - refell me if ye can!", | |
Yet the kiss and breath - | |
Apollo's bane - | |
Sëer of the future, not of twain,"Sicker!", quoth | |
Cassandra.' | |
Or was he an eried being,' | |
Or was he weening - alack nay mo; | |
Her naysay' raught his heart, | |
Her daffing was the grave of all hope - | |
She belied her own words, | |
He thought her life, save moreo'er scourge, | |
She held him august, yet wee; | |
He left her ne'er without his heart. |
