Oh, I once had a love that I loved beyond love Oh, My heart did sing for the love of such a one Oh, such a love of which the angels sing to love such a love there were no bounds My heart could not reach but Oh! ever Eden has its Serpent. Once upon a walk just to feel the cool air upon her brow she strayed into the wild dark woods and fell amongst a troop of hellish fiends Oh, sons of darkness all with cruel and wicked ways with a heart darker than the blackest night Oh, with a dark and evil laugh and glowing red eyes she was pressed so sore and come to grief amongst those hellish fiends "Oh, I pray You". IΒ Β beseeched those hellish fiends " let My sweet love walk free in the fresh and cool night air with a fresh soft breeze to caress her brow" Oh, no cried those hellish fiends like for like You must give let blood for blood be Your pay so I gave Myself over to those hellish fiends Oh, so My sweet love could walk among the cool night air she who I loved with a love more than love Oh, a life so precious as a jewel in God's crown Oh, how those hellish fiends took My flesh to tear with joint pulled and torn from joint My flesh they burnt Oh, pain beyond pain to much to bare Oh, how through and through My body they ****** spears and polls then upon My head they placed a crown of thorns and from every thorn a drop of poison did fall a poison so vile the flesh it did rot Oh, they hung Me between heaven and earth stretched upon a painful eternity Oh, in My pain and despair I gazed upon the heavens upon Orion as he slowly made his way across the night sky and the Pleiades as they sparkled like diamonds in the night sky as tears of pain and woe from My eyes did flow Oh, My thoughts fell upon You My sweet love My all Oh, happy thoughts of You made My tears cease to flow as I hung stretched out upon a painful eternity happiness I found a last to know in the cool free night air You remain and I realized that there's no cure for love
