I Found Embrace Upon the Fields of Death

I found embrace upon the fields of death Upon the lamps that speak of lifeless rest Wherefore I go unknown to wealth on breath I wish Eden be mild to own my breast. Confess'd I young to prowl in scarlet deeds Against the bitter-sweet bestows of life Against the written laws of Heaven creeds To battle reason, strive and curl to strife. The joy I saw imprest uþon my dreams I wish to see today but see no more A sky of clouds a-float the cheerful streams Or glorious smiles myself had living bore. I wish the nests be laid of self-desire To dine in Eden's arms and flee the fire.
