DESPAIR

Adaptation of the H.P.Lovecraft’s poem from "Fungi of Yuggoth"

Over the midnight moorlands crying,
Through the cypress forests sighing,
In the night-wind madly flying,
Hellish forms with streaming hair;
In the barren branches creaking,
By the stagnant swamp-pools speaking,
Past the shore-cliffs ever shrieking;
Damned daemons of despair.
Once, I think I half remember,
Here the grey skies of November
Quenched my youth’s aspiring ember,
Lived there such a thing as bliss
Skies that now are dark were beaming,
Gold and azure, splendid seeming
Till I learned it all was dreaming…
Deadly drowsiness of Dis.
But the stream of Time, swift flowing,
Brings the torment of half-knowing…
Dimly rushing, blindly going
Past the never-trodden lea;
And the voyager, repining,
Sees the grisly death-fires shining,
Hears the wicked petrel’s whining
As he helpless drifts to sea.
Evil wings in ether beating;
Vultures at the spirit eating;
Things unseen forever fleeting
Black against the leering sky.
Ghastly shades of bygone gladness,
Clawing fiends of future sadness,
Mingle in a cloud of madness
Ever on the soul to lie.
Thus the living, lone and sobbing,
In the throes of anguish throbbing,
With the loathsome Furies robbing
Night and noon of peace and rest.
But beyond the groans and grating
Of abhorrent Life, is waiting
Sweet Oblivion, culminating
All these years of fruitless quest.
As he helpless drifts to sea,
Deadly drowsiness of Dis,
Ever on the soul to lie,
Damned daemons of despair.
