a requiem for Emily
wordless notes from far off melody
poet, enchantress, ghost of Emily,
from heaven’s majestic heights, hear my pleas,
thy lyric gift, a requiem for thee.
...
on moonlit night, thy pale wraith did I see
and prayed thee cross stormy uncharted seas,
poet, enchantress, ghost of Emily.
…
dressed in mechlin, like angels might, shyly
winging pale and lithe through funereal trees,
thy lyric gift, a requiem for thee.
…
with wordless notes from far off melody,
quiet as the dew thy phantom steps tease,
poet, enchantress, ghost of Emily.
...
eternal muse, murmur softly to me
that I, like thee, might rhyme with dreamlike ease,
thy lyric gift, a requiem for thee.
...
goodnight, dear soul, sweet parting uttered we,
on whispered wings, flew thou with sacred keys,
poet, enchantress, ghost of Emily,
thy lyric gift, a requiem for thee.
