The winds shrieking in the whisper of night
Like the Erinyes wailing in its infernal flight
Nepenthe for this soul with sorrow bear
Strength to my heart laden with despair
The visions they creep from her bosom
That ebony harbinger of misery and loss
She strikes in her hour the cords of sorrow
Making me yearn for the sweet morrow
Seeping through the vials of ancient memory
The glories of things which have long passed
Of smiles and of tears shed from joyful laughter
A world of merriment in that moment and after
Her radiant face reflected in the morning sun
Hairs of daffodils float in the wind and shun
Her gaze fell upon my countenance and smiled
My heart ablaze with passion without scyle
I moved towards that beguiling bright light
But as quickly as I took step to that flight
A bitter chilling wind came to her in spite
Snuffing the gentle light from her sweet life
The vision ends and the new morning comes
Its rays piercing the Earth and the sky above
And gently opening my eyes to this new day
I rose and continued with life's melancholic way
Like the Erinyes wailing in its infernal flight
Nepenthe for this soul with sorrow bear
Strength to my heart laden with despair
The visions they creep from her bosom
That ebony harbinger of misery and loss
She strikes in her hour the cords of sorrow
Making me yearn for the sweet morrow
Seeping through the vials of ancient memory
The glories of things which have long passed
Of smiles and of tears shed from joyful laughter
A world of merriment in that moment and after
Her radiant face reflected in the morning sun
Hairs of daffodils float in the wind and shun
Her gaze fell upon my countenance and smiled
My heart ablaze with passion without scyle
I moved towards that beguiling bright light
But as quickly as I took step to that flight
A bitter chilling wind came to her in spite
Snuffing the gentle light from her sweet life
The vision ends and the new morning comes
Its rays piercing the Earth and the sky above
And gently opening my eyes to this new day
I rose and continued with life's melancholic way
