Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Out of the Glowing Embers Out of the Glowing Embers. Out of the glowing embers, that still Burn with the fires of yesternight, They come, these little dancing elves of memory, To stay for a moment, Life´s petulant flight. I am in a night of my own creation, and about me, Lies the fathomless dusk of the soul´s Play-land, A world where dreams live true, and Time sleeps peacefully. There, sombre walls enclose me safely, and I am king Of all this strange domain, while fleeting shadows Pass swiftly and silently, like grim sentinels Of my secluded kingdom of darkness. Still I do not reign alone, for on the golden throne Above the hearth, the queen of my heart Smiles all honor into my dreaming eyes. Now a blood-red flame softly kisses the lips Half hidden beneath a downy veil, that wreathes About her brilliant face, alike the burning love My lips once placed upon her own. Her eyes are violet waters, in the ruddy fire´s light, And my soul is lost upon their sea, happily mad, Living again the days of Loves delights, and feeling again Each tender caress that kept my heart aflame til yet. No more a king am I, for now her radiance dims my glory, And I pale into the shadows, once more an humble subject. Once more I whisper all my homage into her ears, Pleading with a greater passion than the death-love Of the Goddess Echo, and scorning all the love tales The envious Boreas brings from out the north.
