MERCVRY TO PROMETHEVS
Like
a star I fly,
Till the storm I near
Of the agony
Which from far I hear.
Till the storm I near
Of the agony
Which from far I hear.
Where the eagle screams
On the frozen air,
Where like ghostly dreams
Stand the mountains bare:
On the frozen air,
Where like ghostly dreams
Stand the mountains bare:
Their tempestuous throng
Darkly set to drive,
With the northwinds strong
Where the stormclouds strive,
Darkly set to drive,
With the northwinds strong
Where the stormclouds strive,
15
While they closer fold
That gigantic form,
Bathed in rain of cold,
Sunk in shock of storm.
That gigantic form,
Bathed in rain of cold,
Sunk in shock of storm.
Titan, look on me:
Like a star I fly:
Thou too mightest be
Such a god as I.
Like a star I fly:
Thou too mightest be
Such a god as I.
