Harmony Of Evening

Topics: classic

Now those days arrive when, stem throbbing,     each flower sheds its fragrance like a censer:     sounds and scents twine in the evening air:     languorous dizziness, Melancholy dancing!     Each flower sheds its fragrance like a censer:     the violin quivers, a heart thats suffering:     languorous dizziness, Melancholy dancing!     the sky is lovely, sad like a huge altar.     The violin quivers, a heart thats suffering:     a heart, hating the vast black void, so tender!     the sky is lovely, sad like a huge altar:     the sun is drowned, in its own blood congealing.     A heart, hating the vast black void, so tender:     each trace of the luminous past its gathering!     The sun is drowned, in its own blood congealing     A vessel of the host, your memory shines there.
