Anatomy Of A Poet Lyrics by In The Nursery

Anatomy of a Poet

0

Non sum qualis eram bonae sub regano Cynarae
Last night, ah, yesternight, betwixt her lips and mine
There fell thy shadow, Cynara! thy breath was shed
Upon my soul between the kisses and the wine;
And I was desolate and sick of an old passion
Yea, I was desolate and bowed my head:
I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion
All night upon mine heart I felt her warm heart beat
Night-long within mine arms in love and asleep she lay;
Surely the kisses of her bought red mouth were sweet;
But I was desolate and sick of an old passion
When I awoke and found the dawn was gray:
I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion
I have forgot much, Cynara! gone with the wind
Flung roses, roses riotously with the throng
Dancing, to put thy pale, lost lilies out of the mind;
But I was desolate and sick of an old passion
Yea, all the time, because the dance was long:
I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion
I cried for madder music and for stronger wine
But when the feast is finished and the lamps expire
Then falls thy shadow, Cynara! the night is thine;
And I am desolate and sick of an old passion
Yea hungry for the lips of my desire:
I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion
