ghizela rowe - the vampyre - lord byron lyrics

but first on earth, as vampyre sent
thy corse shall from its tomb be rent;
then ghastly haunt the native place
and suck the blood of all thy race;
there from thy daughter, sister, wife
at midnight drain the stream of life;
yet loathe the banquet which perforce
must feed thy livid living corse
thy victims, ere they yet expire
shall know the demon for their sire;
as cursing thee, thou cursing them
thy flowers are withered on the stem
but one that for thy crime must fall
the youngest, best beloved of all
shall bless thee with a father’s name—
that word shall wrap thy heart in flame!
yet thou must end thy task and mark
her cheek’s last tinge—her eye’s last spark
and the last glassy glance must view
which freezes o’er its lifeless blue;
then with unhallowed hand shall tear
the tresses of her yellow hair
of which, in life a lock when sh+rn
affection’s fondest pledge was worn—
but now is borne away by thee
memorial of thine agony!
yet with thine own best blood shall drip;
thy gnashing tooth, and haggard lip;
then stalking to thy sullen grave
go—and with gouls and afrits rave
till these in horror shrink away
from spectre more accursed than they
