Love The Vampire

The extent sands and gray,

Stretch leagues and leagues away,

Right down to the border line of sky and foam,

A spark of sundown burns,

The gray tide-water turns,

Again, like a ghost from the forbidden residence!

Right here, with out pyre or bier,

Gentle Love was buried right here,

Alas, his grave was broad and deep sufficient,

Thrice, with averted head,

We solid mud on the lifeless,

And left him to his relaxation. An finish of Love.

“No stone to roll away,

No seal of snow or clay,

Solely tender mud above his wearied eyes,

However although the sudden sound

And grave quit their ghost, he is not going to rise!”

So every to every we mentioned!

Ah, however to both mattress

Set far aside within the lands of North and South,

Love as a Vampire got here

With haggard eyes afflame,

And kissed us with the kisses of his mouth!

Thenceforth in goals should we

One another’s shadow see

Wand ring unhappy in empty lands,

Nonetheless the need face

Fleets from the useless embrace,

And nonetheless the form evades the longing fingers.
