Burning Of Desire

Fire Fire The burning of desire Penance is burning Burning in a pyre O the subconscious is Beginning its reign Come shrouds and ghosts Of night And with you satyrs wild And fauns and nymphs And Naiads All dance All dance All dance with cup All All Al Fire Burns Fire Burns Fire Burns I Had In Me The Existential And With The Subconscious Began Away The Conscious Ran Away Away Dusk Changed To Night And - The Timbrels started rolling - figures dressed as animals - roaring - roaring - dancing - dancing Dante with Beatrice Is dancing The sexton with the tree The water-wave with the desert sand The races of Earth Together Face to face, land to land The wind is rising The flowers bend not Dusk pleasant blows With Zephyr; Circe with Ulysses From her far cave Pines at the Dusk Soon Will the night-stars Deck the sovereign Face of Night! Zum zum zum zum Zum Hum hum hum hum hum Hum The lakes are filled Of water The reservoirs glitter With water The small hamlets sleep Surrounded by the snows And by the waters The wind is rising The flowers bend not Dusk pleasant blows With Zephyr; Circe with Ulysses From her far cave Pines at the Dusk Soon Will the night-stars Deck the sovereign Face of Night! Let me see the Dusk Displaying And Let me see the Dusk Wavering And Playing And with the beauty Of the flush-faced Sunset Vying!
