lyrics

my joy and i held candles before the frozen throne
she in her winged sandals, i in my boots of stone
she in her silken flora, i in my leather drear
she with the grace of cora upon the road of tears

and did they see us shining through winter’s dark decree
those gods of time and dying who reasoned doom to me

came bright the dove of april, good summer in her wake
the eaglet in her cradle, and autumn’s golden snake
who was it caught my dearest in snares of shallow will
to bind her frail and fearless upon their hallowed hill?

come now you crawling spider, dire wolf and driving rain
my heart will sleep beside her, secure as iron chains

i climbed the rise at evening to bury my delight
no sign of web or weaving, no shadow of her flight
behold the unmade chalice, the wine that has no taste
the bare and phantom palace she made of my embrace

behold these endless mazes, these winters without end
we roam till we have faces to feel the spring again
