Oh how I crave thee

Dark light seduce my eyes

Guide me foolish fire

To the grove's heart

As I dare myself

To return to "the Island of the Fay"

And I recognize the valleys

I used to stroll before

"And the waters that silently smile"

And a multitude of bellflowers gently chime

And so I stand to gaze upon

The perfect forms of eerie orbs

And I feel like a worm

Of ghastly swarm

Who desecrates the grave

Of Melpomene

“My wanderings amid such scenes

Has been many

And far searching

And often solitary”

Yet until this day

I was forced to yearningly

Adore The Isle distant shore

Yet the day has come to fulfill

The desire anchored in heart

What unearthly treasures are concealed before my sight?

I rid the boat and allow

Irregular water waves disturb

Calm sleep of elfish sentinels

Without realization

Of committed evil

Oh endear me caress me

Sweet melancholy

For dark shadow fell

„Upon the slope of the emerald turf”

And I knew I should never enter

The mystic kingdom of fay

The filth and guilt

Has entered with me into

„Radiant harem of garden beauties”

Causing them to wither

And die

With the remains of hope
