Proserpina 歌词

I have lived long enough Having seen one thing, that love hath an end Goddess and maiden and queen Be near me now and befriend Thou art more than the day or the morrow The seasons that laugh or weep For these give joy and sorrow But thou, Proserpina, sleep Sleep, shall we sleep after all? For the world is not sweet in the end For the old faiths loosen and fall The new years ruin and rend Fate is a sea without shore And the soul is a rock that abides But her ears are vexed with roar And her face with the foam of the tides Thou hast conquered, O pale Galilean The world has grown grey from thy breath We have drunken of things Lethean And fed on the fullness of death Clothed round with the world's desire As with raiment, and fair as the foam And fleeter than kindled fire And a goddess, and mother of Rome For thine came weeping A slave among slaves, and rejected But she came flushed from the full-flushed wave And imperial, her foot on the sea In the night where thine eyes are as moons In heaven, the night where thou art Where the silence is more than all tunes Where sleep overflows from the heart Therefore now at thy feet I abide For a season in silence I know I shall die as my fathers died And sleep as they sleep; even so Thou hast conquered, O pale Galilean The world has grown grey from thy breath We have drunken of things Lethean And fed on the fullness of death
