Lyrics

[00:00] “Gaunt and gnarl’d
[00:01] Reflecteth the silver shield this welkin aghast,
[00:58] Crawl without this velvet-clad coffin blest.
[01:17] The bottom sand of the hourglass is at tide,
[01:23] ´Tis and hath e’er been merry blood to pest -
[01:29] To be adust for time longer can I not bide,
[01:17] “Sensing this pine is as deep as the deepest chasm,
[01:24] Hither !-cede and fulfil my phantasm!
[01:29] Cherish me and sonorously do me laud-
[01:53] “This tender and loving pest I to thee bequeath,“
[02:00] Thence swiftly wilt thou errant to ‘Neath. ”
[02:18] Lest leer I at thee and do bewitch,
[02:24] And the tharms fluttering claw’d and eldritch.”
[03:17] “To conquer thee and thy blood for glore
[03:35] Bear this torture and maim with decorum.”
[03:55] One candle left behind(?) now,
[04:03] Before the darkness comes…
[04:06] “If e’er always was I this blissful and blithe“
[04:25] Would I resign to but its wee tithe.”
[05:03] And to thee will I sing the lull-dull dirge;
[05:58] Elsewise will I coerce thine consonantry to turn whist
[06:16] So that thou canst in darkness and inferno vester,
[06:24] For do I solely what He to me lifely saith,”
[06:16] “Death-oh! Fair and’ guiling copesmate Death,“
[06:24] Be not a malais’d beggar ; claim this bloody jester!”
[00:19.45] And with haste translateth gild’d black post and fast.”
[00:38.60] “Anon-anon, say I!- the lid aside,“
[01:35.40] Hence the heart hale out throˋthe chest!
[01:41.65] Misery thee? Rather misery me!-
[01:47.65] For in Time’s durance am I naught but wee.”
[01:35.35] For Dread!- thine eyes will behold a guise faugh’d.”
[02:05.85] “And to me should’st thou be the humblemost knave,“
[02:11.90] Lest fear!- spit I on thy cist and grave!-
[03:23.56] Art thou my afeard and reluctant whore;
[03:29.86] Irksomely coy, save wiliéd by alarum,
[04:44.56] “Purvey my ache and quench my profoundest urge,
[05:23.65] Deliver thy blood like the rill filleth the ghyll.”
[05:32.45] “Burrow to the trothplight with the Night and Devil-
[05:41.78] Bid Him to league with me – forsooth, merry to ‘come’ twill.”
[05:49.86] “Whilom wast vestal, yet now flit to thy tryst,“
[06:10.30] Grasp I the snath and cut off thine breath,
