Let your letter on my desk remain, tonight- 

My angry tears will blur the words slain tonight. 

***

Let me, last, press it  close to my wretched heart 

To fathom not agony, but love's grain tonight. 

***

What darkness can a long eclipsed night suffer, 

Ah! Dare men driven insane complain tonight ? 

***

Nothing's as keen as the dagger of love spurned  

Feel the frenzied heart bleed, unrestrained tonight. 

***

This cup of hemlock, I'll sip in ecstasy 

To regain your love, dark death I'll deign  tonight. 

***

Tomorrow’s sun will see neither me nor you. 

Shrouded in death's bliss, let's remain tonight. 

***
