Fernand Pena - My Spectre around me night & day lyrics

My Spectre around me night & day Album "Ode to William Blake" volume 2 Auteur William Blake (D.P.) Compositeur: Fernand Pena 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? [Postscript] O' er my Sins Thou sit & moan : Hast thou no Sins of thy own ? O'er my Sins thou sit & weep And lull thy own Sins fast asleep 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 I'll have And when dead I'll 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
