I'm all alone
Within my soul I groan --
With a star-tide inside a stagnant sea;
Far till a maiden with the flushes of love there came Mèlanie:
Far till a maiden with the gushes of Lament's dove be name Mèlanie:
Oh, dim grew light
From the astral night
As the radiant Utopian orbs rain
In Astarte's vain
Upon the tinted pearling moon
Twinkling in our mystic noon, --
Whereas I touched with the lips of my own to Mèlanie:
Whereas I kiss Death's eclipse in the eyes alone of Mèlanie:
As of right now,
Be never to vow --
'Cause her winged-fabric soul
With the fiery pinion-foul,
May we burn naked ablaze in a fountain hole
And forever be draining our blood together, I and Mèlanie:
Forever be bound to the wrist and chain together, I and my Mèlanie:
