The Sleeper歌詞

The Sleeper - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows (永恆沉睡)
At midnight in the month of june
I stand beneath the mystic moon
An opiate vapor dewy dim
Exhales from out her golden rim
And softly dripping drop by drop
Upon the quiet mountain top
Steals drowsily and musically
Into the universal valley
The rosemary nods upon the grave
The lily lolls upon the wave
Wrapping the fog about its breast
The ruin molders into rest
Looking like lethe see the lake
A conscious slumber seems to take
And would not for the world awake
And would not for the world awake
All beauty sleeps and lo where lies
All beauty sleeps and lo where lies
O lady bright can it be right
This window open to the night
The wanton airs from the tree top
Laughingly through the lattice drop
The bodiless airs a wizard rout
Flit through thy chamber in and out
And wave the curtain canopy
So fitfully so fearfully
Above the closed and fringed lid
Neath which thy slumb'ring soul lies hid
That o'er the floor and down the wall
Like ghosts the shadows rise and fall
Oh lady dear hast thou no fear
Why and what art thou dreaming here
Sure thou art come o'er far off seas
A wonder to these garden trees
Strange is thy pallor strange thy dress
Strange above all thy length of tress
And this all solemn silentness
The lady sleeps oh may her sleep
Which is enduring so be deep
Soft may the worms about her creep
