My Spectre around me night & day



* * *

My Spectre around me night & day Like a Wild beast guards my way My Emanation far within Weeps incessantly for my Sin

A Fathomless & boundless deep There we wander there we weep On the hungry craving wind My Spectre follows thee behind

He scents thy footsteps in the snow Wheresoever thou dost go Thro the wintry hail & rain When wilt thou return again

Dost thou not in Pride & scorn Fill with tempests all my morn And with jealousies & fears Fill my pleasant nights with tears

Seven of my sweet loves thy knife Has bereaved of their life Their marble tombs I built with tears And with cold & shuddering fears

Seven more loves weep night & day Round the tombs where my loves lay And seven more loves attend each night Around my couch with torches bright

And seven more Loves in my bed Crown with wine my mournful head Pitying & forgiving all Thy transgressions great & small

When wilt thou return & view My loves & them to life renew When wilt thou return & live When wilt thou pity as I forgive

Never Never I return Still for Victory I burn Living thee alone Ill have And when dead Ill be thy Grave

Thro the Heavn & Earth & Hell Thou shalt never never quell I will fly & thou pursue Night & Morn the flight renew

Till I turn from Female Love And root up the Infernal Grove I shall never worthy be To Step into Eternity

And to end thy cruel mocks Annihilate thee on the rocks And another form create To be subservient to my Fate

Let us agree to give up Love And root up the infernal grove Then shall we return & see The worlds of happy Eternity

& Throughout all Eternity I forgive you you forgive me As our dear Redeemer said This the Wine & this the Bread ________________________________________
