bessie craigmyle - cleopatra lyrics

Loading...

lo! this is she that ruled the world. draw near:
over her lowers the shadow of sudden death
to-morrow, without heart-beat, pulse, or breath
octavian’s band shall find her lying here
there, at her side, among the fig-leaves sere
coils the cerastes hid, unseen by us:
yet is, within those great eyes luminous
no fear, nor any moment’s touch of fear
let be. she is but tracing back the path
trod through the life that is to end this night
thinking of all the dead days’ dear delight
lute-music, wine-cup, dance, and revelry
the sensuous stillness of the scented bath
lip-touch, and clasp, and arms of antony
