By silverfish imperatrix, whose incorrupted eye |
|
Sees through the charms of doctors and their wives |
|
By salamander, drake, and the power that was undine |
|
Rise to claim Saturn, ring and sky |
|
By those who see with their eyes closed |
|
They know me by my black telescope |
|
Your green tree mantle from which these things derive |
|
A lens of quartz and refract spoke |
|
That crystal lens whose crystal rope |
|
Once bound me to those Doctors and wives |
|
When my vision was oh, so cloudy |
|
And I saw things through two eyes |
|
I am a sailor on the raging depths |
|
And I know a thing or two |
|
Back to the corner mates and over the side |
|
Yes I know a thing or two |
|
By silverfish imperatrix, whose incorrupted eye |
|
Sees through the charms of doctors and their wives |
|
By salamander, drake, and the power that was undine |
|
Rise to claim Saturn, ring and sky |
|
By those who see with their eyes closed |
|
you'll know me by my black telescope |
|
Before my great conversion when the ridge was closed |
|
Before my visit to the workshop of telescopes |
|
By silverfish imperatrix, whose incorrupted eye |
|
sees through the charms of doctors and their wives |
|
By salamander, drake, and the power that was undine |
|
Rise to claim Saturn, ring and sky |
|
By those who see with their eyes closed |
|
you'll know me by my... |
|
Black telescope |
