The cup of Comus : Fact and Fancy | ||
WITCHCRAFT
This world is made a witchcraft place
With gazing on a woman's face.
With gazing on a woman's face.
Now 'tis her smile, whose sorcery
Turns all my thoughts to melody.
Turns all my thoughts to melody.
Now 'tis her frown, that comes and goes,
That makes my day a page of prose.
That makes my day a page of prose.
And now her laugh, or but a word,
That in my heart frees wild a bird.
That in my heart frees wild a bird.
Some day, perhaps, a kiss of hers,
Will lift from my dumb life the curse
Will lift from my dumb life the curse
Of longing, inarticulate,
That keeps me sad and celibate.
That keeps me sad and celibate.
