Unholy phantom faces
(Of self, Of sin ?)
Grin wild in all the places
Where blood is trodden in :
The ground of night enchanted
With deadly blooms is planted,
Where evil beasts have panted
And snakes have shed their skin.
With poison steams the air,
And evil scent
Is potent everywhere ;
Creation waits th’ event :
In silence, without sighing,
The living and the dying,
Oppressed and putrefying,
Curse earth and firmament.
What dreams disturb my slumber,
Or what sights seen ?
Foul orgies without number
In dens and caves obscene,
