Then Did Bore Old Night Lyrics

Of giant pasturage lying at ease

Into the sunlit ether, caught the ray

And did lights father forever cease

Play the lyre Oh Pan play!

Of sunken suns at eve, at noon of Night

While the moon danc'd with the fair stranger light

Flashing from Parian marble that twin smile

And armed flanks to war worthwhile

Nursled the young mountain in it's lair

Thro' the ebon air, besilvering the pall

A dome, by linked light in purple air

Adorning with the dwellings o' fall

For beauty' s grave

And every sculptur'd cherub thereabout

Shall not be save

In the burning Erebus' lakes shall sprout

Witness the murmur of the grey twilight in Eyraco

Who, musing, gazeth on the distance dim

There in the cold, in the shadow

Sees the darkness coming as a cloud's whim

'Tis the rush of wings

Ho maiden in the twilight sky adorn'd

Thus gather'd dusk sings

Litanies of nightfall perform'd

Night

... Then Did Bore Old Night

Up rose the scythed maiden in the Night

The single mooned eve! -on Earth to plight

And one moon adore

Up rose the maiden from her shrine o' flowers once more

And bent o'er sheeny mountains and dim plain

But left not yet Therasaen reignIn Tha Umbra - Then Did Bore Old Night - http://motolyrics.com/in-tha-umbra/then-did-bore-old-night-lyrics.html

And it did rain forever...

Huldras and Gorgonas and headless Medusa reborn

Thundering chords in damnation's symphonie

Burnt through the oracle of twilight forlorn

Of old Night as lightning... six... times three

Bore burthen to the charm the maiden sang

In many a star-lit grove, or moon-lit dell;

Glance thro' the shade and thunder sprang

Encumber'd with dew, hath drawn and thus fell

The dew of the Night

Capriciously still, harmony in delight

Incumbent on light

The sound of the rain

Which leaps down benight

The music of things that spring pain

Clad in storms, alas!

Night

... Then Did Bore Old Night

Midnight on the draperied wall

How drowsily it weigh'd into Night!

But O that light! -slumber'd at the hall

Agoniz'd clung around in fright

Imparts the myth

Even the glowing bosom beats withal,

Amid a Night of mirth

And when old Night did disenthral

A red Daedalion on the timid Earth

Cronos unfurl'd as light waned and waned

Enchanted halls presented lady Death

And so thy star trembl'd...

... Then Did Bore Old Night
