Album: Midnight Solemnly Dance

Love's Heavy Burden

Under love's heavy burden do I sink
Can I go forward, when my heart is here?
I cannot be here, here and there
there and here for You and I
are past our dancing days
I like the lighting
which does cease to be
Here one can say "I see"
Beauty too rich for use
for earth too dear
Did my heart love 'til now?
I forswear!
Regions near me seemed all alone
My mutual cry she never heard again
Now sadness is beloved, and love we gain
Alike bewitched by charm of looks
Night, sable Goddess,
from Your ebony throne
Every eye is fixed on You alone
I thank You, moon, for showing me away
Trip away, make me stay, meet me all
by break of day
You made mine eyes and merry tears
O grim-looked night, the way You fear!
Full many flowers born to blush unseen
And waste their sweetness now,
shred their last gleam
Trip away, make me stay,
meet me all by break of day!
Heaven/hell, shadow-dancer
heatened blood make holy hands unclean
Mine eyes look sad,
the grim-looked night away
Stare around the sphere
to blush unseen - Your tears
When You turn away
Leave me out of the end
Turn You insane out
Leave me, if You will
Away from light steals forth my soul
I want give cure as know
But love's a smoke with fume of sights
So swallow down and rise, autumn rise!
