Melancholia (Lyric) by vulcan
Do not shun my eyes
O enchantress fair!
I long to possess those lily-loving lips of yours
I long that ghastly gown of yours to embrace!
See!all the world withers
To let blood bubble up
In those unquenchable wan lips,
See to what abyss of bliss
Your feverish fancy leads me miss!
O thou unravished mistress
Let me touch you for a moment
I know,I know an embrace
suffices my empty cup of bliss!
O Death!a massive congregation are in exile
Unworthy of your dark dazzling dynasty!
I,here,with teary eyes
Wait wailing
When your lively mantle
From over the mountains would rise!
Come!without ceremony we'll mix
For Marriage is forbidden to Ghosts!
Right then we'll go from door to door
And when you cool hearts of people to the core
I'll sing of you
Whom I terribly boast!
