“Awake, arise, or be forever fall’n.”
He struck with his o’ertaking wings
To take us lands away,
His tears came running too quickly to be checked
Hurled headlong flaming from th’ ethereal sky.

Love which in spite of darkness brought us hither,
Not terrible, though terror be in love,
Asked me for a kiss.
In destinies sad or merry, true men can but try.
