My heart sinks back against my spine,
As to my fate it's here resigned...

Loud, initial cries
Are heard through glass barriers...

Beneath the moon, in whitened light,
There stands a candle strong and bright...

She carries hair like blackened sins,
And subtle lines of crimson twins...

My love, does your heart forget
The promise that in stone was set...

Little brother, only small
Yet like the stars you shine...

How sweet they lay, the gentle skies
That comfort all the earth...

The girl was only five years old,
An ancient myth was here exposed...

I take this burning rose,
To breathe in Love's temptation...

Let your eyes wander openly, linger on her face,
Let them see an image of an open, loved embrace...

Like the lethal dusty cobra, darling, shed your...
Find shelter in its absence; let your mortal heart...

Loves enemy,
The thrill of deceit...
