Once upon a golden day They led me to where thy layst In all thine splendour, fire and might An angel did then cloud my sight O enchantress, what sayst thou? Your sight, it dost put a glamour on me Behind thine eyes of ebony What colors doth thou see? Clench my throat in thy marble hand Steal my soul My heart My mind In thy cloak of conium and chamomile What is they purpose? O sweet angel?
