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 & h-ll
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
