When the twilight's scent fulfilled my breath
And the bleeding sun in agony deceased
Fearful eclipse replaced the light
Only her beauty was enchantingly bright

Like bewitched angels in trance
Even the shadows bowed to serve
For not even their grandiose darkness
Could not smother the flame of her verve

Through her cadaverous fancy I swept
As on the somber sky the full moon wept
Before her spells on my knees I fell
Condemned in bleakest depths to dwell

"Oh, raven-eyed enchantress,
Let thy lips adhere unto mine!"
In her seductive powers entwined
Her malice I could not divine

In silky ethereal bosom she drowned the fairy light
That stirred the lewd desire in my lost dreary sight

The darkness fell and she threw the spell
Upon my moonlit skies
So deep was her kiss, as the fevered bliss
That burned in my glistening eyes

The dimmest shadows crooned
And the pleasure flared behind her disguise
As fierce as the wanton desire
That glowed between her thighs

Grotesque silhouettes danced
In the night filled with such narcotic grace
I sunk in her glamorous fondness
Then she vanished without a trace

No fairness shone in her eyes
When she like death appeared again
Then at last I realized
But my soul crept down agonized

"Art thou pleased, Spectral Queen?
I drew up thy illusion's crown
For I've noticed too late
The nocturnal breed in thy frown"

The mockery dripped from her lips red as wine
As she gloated me bleed
I knew - her curse became mine

The ether droned so dismal
As my tears drenched the soil
For her black-feathered wings carried my cries
Among the raven skies
