A Revolt
Pale and passionless star,
Steadily wheeling afar
From the golden Sun, thy lord!
What is thy love's reward?
Cycles ever the same,
Timeless, tireless, tame.
Steadily wheeling afar
From the golden Sun, thy lord!
What is thy love's reward?
Cycles ever the same,
Timeless, tireless, tame.
Rather be my love's fashion
The fiery meteor's passion,
That scorns the planet's orbit,
And ever flies to the Sun,
Till its glorious lover absorb it,
And life ends when love is won.
The fiery meteor's passion,
That scorns the planet's orbit,
And ever flies to the Sun,
Till its glorious lover absorb it,
And life ends when love is won.
