ghizela rowe - love in hades by robert crawford lyrics

i saw love pass with charon down
the pale infernal tide
to visit in the starless town
all who for him had died
the gay god and the old ghost came
slow to that sleepy shore
and a dead passion burned like flame
before each true+love’s door!
into this place and that he stept:
the eyes still held their tears
though some had their strange sorrow kept
more than ten thousand years
he saw the old and young who went
devoid of life, yet who
though all their joys on earth were spent
were to their dream+loves true
he saw all who had worshipped him
before thought’s light withdrew
until the ages seemed to swim
round him there dying too!
and he could feel his faint heart beat
a ghostly tune with theirs
as he, too, might cease to compete
with the decaying years
ay! though a god, he went aghast
from the mysterious shore
and charon smiled when he at last
touched time with him once more
