Take, o, rage within the chest
Full fathom three gold wealth lies
Rich and strange, a beauty’s best
Flesh will pass, coin never dies
For gold long all,
Toward it throng all,
Is it wrong? Silent all?
Shall it be blest, my bone chest
Blood bursting breast,
Dance all! Dance at the golden
hoard!
What’s valueable, what’s true
Blood in vain, in brain, in circulation
The feel of dew, its chthonic hue
Square of the circle fascination
For gold long all,
Toward it throng all,
Is it wrong? Silent all?
Shall it be blest, my bone chest
Blood bursting breast,
Dance all! Dance at the golden
hoard!
For gold long all,
Toward it throng all,
Is it wrong? Silent all?
Shall it be blest, my bone chest
Blood bursting breast,
Dance all! Dance at the golden
hoard!
