theatre of tragedy - the masquerader and phoenix lyrics
hist! – the sonorous orchestral ambience and the arabesque-stanc’d ballerina,
her wee feel in an alacritic maelstrom-twirl,
and the dust-hurl with her tears blendeth – egad! this quagmire;
pasteth her unaptly apt feet to the stage;
like the wither’d rose of the luciferous eden
by the mummer’d masquerader espied vigilly and mockingly,
his behesting visage, tho’ ruddily mummmer’d ’tis –
embower’d and eddying oft and eft gloam by gloam,
her sweetness ne’er cloy – further! further! –
his scratching and dallying hollow-heartéd eyes
her br–sts and vestal heart caress,
and like the dove and bird of prey leapeth she aerily,
whileas the orchestra playeth on travailingly;
his one and sole swath
with the pizzicato’d ensemble blendeth –
and her umbral foetal scream –
as the song climaxeth
and slowly dieth
away…
