Hark! bloweth life,
Into a stone.
Nay! Thy heart,
Doth I disown.
Thou art a votary,
To fond desire.
Tis passion of late,
Which thee conspire.
Thy passion is such,
As fiery ember!
Thee scent,
Tis fathoms,
Suave lavender!
Hark! bloweth life,
Into a stone.
Beguile thy senses,
With bourguignon.
Ye riveting gaze,
Much like a maze.
Setting thy heart,
Thoroughly ablaze!
Tis passion which sets,
Thy life asunder.
Lying awake into the night,
Reminiscing thee,
With sheer delight!
Hark! bloweth life,
Into a stone.
Nay! Thy heart,
Doth I disown.
