revenge - letitia elizabeth landon - richard mitchley lyrics

Loading...

ay, gaze upon her rose*wreathed hair
and gaze upon her smile;
seem as you drank the very air
her breath perfumed the while:

and wake for her the gifted line
that wild and witching lay
and swear your heart is as a shrine
that only owns her sway

’tis well: i am revenged at last,—
mark you that scornful cheek,—
the eye averted as you pass’d
spoke more than words could speak

ay, now by all the bitter tears
that i have shed for thee,—
the racking doubts, the burning fears,—
avenged they well may be—

by the nights pass’d in sleepless care
the days of endless woe;
all that you taught my heart to bear
all that yourself will know

i would not wish to see you laid
within an early tomb;
i should forget how you betray’d
and only weep your doom:
but this is fitting punishment
to live and love in vain,—
oh my wrung heart, be thou content
and feed upon his pain

go thou and watch her lightest sigh,—
thine own it will not be;
and bask beneath her sunny eye,—
it will not turn on thee

’tis well: the rack, the chain, the wheel
far better hadst thou proved;
ev’n i could almost pity feel
for thou art not beloved
