william blake - ghizela rowe - a little girl lost lyrics

Loading...

in futurity
i prophetic see
that the earth from sleep
(grave the sentence deep)

shall arise and seek
for her maker meek;
and the desert wild
become a garden mild

in the southern clime
where the summer’s prime
never fades away
lovely lyca lay

seven summers old
lovely lyca told;
she had wander’d long
hearing wild birds’ song

‘sweet sleep, come to me
underneath this tree
do father, mother, weep?
where can lyca sleep?

‘lost in desert wild
is your little child
how can lyca sleep
if her mother weep?
‘if her heart does ache
then let lyca wake;
if my mother sleep
lyca shall not weep

‘frowning, frowning night
o’er this desert bright
let thy moon arise
while i close my eyes.’

sleeping lyca lay
while the beasts of prey
come from caverns deep
view’d the maid asleep

the kingly lion stood
and the virgin view’d
then he gamboll’d round
o’er the hallow’d ground

leopards, tigers, play
round her as she lay
while the lion old
bow’d his mane of gold

and her bosom l!ck
and upon her neck
from his eyes of flame
ruby tears there came;
while the lioness
loos’d her slender dress
and naked they convey’d
to caves the sleeping maid
