Out of the nothingness of sleep
The slow dreams of Eternity
There was a thunder on the deep:
I came, because you called to me
I broke the Night's primeval bars
I dared the old abysmal curse
And flashed through ranks of frightened stars
Suddenly on the universe!
The eternal silences were broken;
Hell became Heaven as I pa**ed. –
What shall I give you as a token
A sign that we have met, at last?
I'll break and forge the stars anew
Shatter the heavens with a song;
Immortal in my love for you
Because I love you, very strong
Your mouth shall mock the old and wise
Your laugh shall fill the world with flame
I'll write upon the shrinking skies
The scarlet splendour of your name
Till Heaven cracks, and Hell thereunder
Dies in her ultimate mad fire
And darkness falls, with scornfull thunder
On dreams of men and men's desire
Then only in the empty spaces
d**h, walking very silently
Shall fear the glory of our faces
Through all the dark infinity
So, clouthed about with perfect love
The eternal end shall find us one
Alone above the Night, above
The dust of the dead gods, alone
