From 'Manfred' by Lord Byron (1788 - 1824) |
|
Love is worth pursuing |
|
Through the burning wreck of a demolished world |
|
Over mountain kings on thrones of rock |
|
Through mansions in the clouds |
|
On a starbeam I have ridden |
|
Though my love may be forbidden |
|
A breath of twilight blows |
|
How the longing grows. |
|
Love is intoxicating |
|
Like the blue depths of the water |
|
When the wind speaks |
|
And echoes cross the waves |
|
I have sailed rivers of time |
|
To find you and make you mine |
|
A breath of twilight blows |
|
How the feeling inside me grows |
|
I am the rider of the wind |
|
The stirrer of the storm |
|
A hurricane of rage |
|
In human form |
|
And now the hour has arrived |
|
And this vow I renew |
|
I am a monster of the sky |
|
And I'm coming after you |
|
Love is unrelenting |
|
It burns deep |
|
Like a slumbering earthquake |
|
On a pillow of flame |
|
I would burn over a thousand fires |
|
For the object of my desire |
|
A breath of twilight blows |
|
How this need inside me grows |
