Ligeia

Inspired by

E. A. Poe

Dear child, are you scared tonight?

Your body is trembling

Dear child, you are a tragic bride

With a blemished mind

Dear soul,

I will take you

To the very ends of the earth

Dear soul

I will break you

The marble

BREED is mine "Out - out are the lights - out all! And over each quivering form, The curtain, a funeral pall, Comes down with the rush of a storm, ..."

Dear worm, are you strong enough?

I will defy you

Dear worm,

I will rise up high

From the glowing embers "...And the angels, all pallid and wan, Uprising, unveiling, affirm That the play is the tragedy, "

Man", And its hero the conqueror Worm".
