hla (Hideous Heart)

— hideous heart! -
— hideous heart! -
— hideous heart! …-
They say your ailing doves get caught
They say her peace will make you weak
They now obtain your words by fraud
And modulate them as they speak
— heart! -
— hideous heart! -
— hideous heart! …-
Beyond her walls I shatter mine
Towards her charming lies I crawl
Her heart got sore as she found mine
Into her liquid arms I fall
… and now — again — hark!
Louder! louder! louder! LOUDER!
«Villains!»
«dissemble no more! I admit the deed! tear up the planks!
Here, here! it is the beating of his hideous heart!» …
Her noiseless treads delight my ears
I bury dreams along her shore
In radiant black her gliding tears
Under her surface so much more
… And still — the men — chatted — pleasantly, and smiled
— Was it possible — they heard not? …
Beyond her walls I shatter mine
Towards her charming lies I crawl
Her heart got sore as she found mine
Into her liquid arms I fall
… And still — the men — chatted — pleasantly, and smiled
— Was it possible — they heard not?
— heart! -
— hideous heart! -
— hideous heart! -
— hideous heart! -
