Ligeia
Inspired by E.A. Poe
Dear child, are you scared tonight ?
Your body is trembling
Dear child, you are a tragic bride
With a blemished mind
Dear soul, I will take you
To the very ends of the earth
Dear soul I will break you
The marble BREED is mine
"Out - out are the lights - out all!
And over each quivering form,
The curtain, a funeral pall,
Comes down with the rush of a storm,..."
Dear worm, are you strong enough ?
I will defy you
Dear worm, I will rise up high
From the glowing embers
"... And the angels , all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, "Man",
And its hero the conqueror Worm." |
