In Tha Umbra lyrics : "Then Did Bore Old Night"

Of giant pasturage lying at ease
Into the sunlit ether, caught the ray
And did lights father forever cease

Play the lyre Oh Pan play!
Of sunken suns at eve, at noon of Night
While the moon danc'd with the fair stranger light

Flashing from Parian marble that twin smile
And armed flanks to war worthwhile
Nursled the young mountain in it's lair

Thro' the ebon air, besilvering the pall
A dome, by linked light in purple air
Adorning with the dwellings o' fall

For beauty' s grave
And every sculptur'd cherub thereabout
Shall not be save

In the burning Erebus' lakes shall sprout
Witness the murmur of the grey twilight in Eyraco
Who, musing, gazeth on the distance dim

There in the cold, in the shadow
Sees the darkness coming as a cloud's whim
'Tis the rush of wings

Ho maiden in the twilight sky adorn'd
Thus gather'd dusk sings
Litanies of nightfall perform'd

Night
... Then Did Bore Old Night
Up rose the scythed maiden in the Night

The single mooned eve! -on Earth to plight
And one moon adore
Up rose the maiden from her shrine o' flowers once more

And bent o'er sheeny mountains and dim plain
But left not yet Therasaen reign
And it did rain forever...

Huldras and Gorgonas and headless Medusa reborn
Thundering chords in damnation's symphonie
Burnt through the oracle of twilight forlorn

Of old Night as lightning... six... times three
Bore burthen to the charm the maiden sang
In many a star-lit grove, or moon-lit dell;

Glance thro' the shade and thunder sprang
Encumber'd with dew, hath drawn and thus fell
The dew of the Night

Capriciously still, harmony in delight
Incumbent on light
The sound of the rain

Which leaps down benight
The music of things that spring pain
Clad in storms, alas!

Night
... Then Did Bore Old Night
Midnight on the draperied wall

How drowsily it weigh'd into Night!
But O that light! -slumber'd at the hall
Agoniz'd clung around in fright

Imparts the myth
Even the glowing bosom beats withal,
Amid a Night of mirth

And when old Night did disenthral
A red Daedalion on the timid Earth
Cronos unfurl'd as light waned and waned

Enchanted halls presented lady Death
And so thy star trembl'd...
... Then Did Bore Old Night
