O, precious one, how still thou layeth
In the graveyard of beauty, whereupon thy sorrowful countenance
Shall descend like an angel, wings clipp'd, as from the blood-filled grave i emergeth;
Drowning my very soul in thine eyes, feeling with the very depths of my heart
Thy divine presence...
Tearful was I,
As a vampire forsaken in the very castle he built
Within a doleful miasma, wreathed in pure sorrow,
Sigheth I, from the depths of hopelessness:
"O Life! How wretched it is,
That from the very day I first saw thy gleeful light,
Had I turn'd it away from the very skies I sought!"
And turn'd away did I; upon this, the last day.
