...er gardens and o'er well--till'd lands
Advance fierce Tilly's bands.
Now Tilly's at the gate.
Our homes who'll liberate?
Go, loved one, hasten to the gate,
And dare the combat straight!

However fierce his threat;
Thy rosy cheeks I'll kiss, sweet pet!

live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
