Walking in the woods, I fell Down into a knothole that lead To another realm, unlike our own
‘Twas a wondrous realm like a twilit dream Where the dazzling sky at night engulfed all And satyrs who were young like me Beckoned me to their sordid ****** Fountains of wine poured into streams, And wood nymphs danced and bathed in falls Deliciously drunken and sweet, calling me To pick their flowers.
We caroused and we aroused As we fired our slingshots into the sky And watched the night shimmer with the Comets we launched up and away. I fired mine, foolishly unaware That my target was the moon so full I shattered my joy to pieces And brought this realm to darkness
The satyrs howled in fear The wood nymphs withered away The fountains of wine turned into blood And I was left drowningl Until a glorious golden hand Went from the moon’s place to Shield me, carry me back to reality. I awoke in a sweat and a shiver 'Twas always night in the Satyr’s Garden Be it drenched with stars and ecstasy, 'Twas night, and night to remain.
