          How romantic would be living
          beneath ravens' midnight flare
          in healing springing of autumn,
          beside windows of despair;
          half-opened through the moors,
          beholding musical quietness
          with blue visions of tommorow
          in willow's absence of rigidness;

          I can never dance with you,
          nor these beautiful livings
          though on same skies underneath,
          we're solely bound for beholding;
          breathing romance through distance
          of valid tragedy we've become
          before loving loves instance,
          before beholding's end begun;

          but what tenderness you shower
          like lanters' falling mercy
          touching cruelty of this Earth
          like those angels did firstly;
          still, I'm weakened by your passion;
          I could offer no exchange
          but same loving, never equal
          maybe equally as strange;

          oh, forgive my virginity
          for such human-fevered madness,
          poorly verbalized in this poetry
          your response, but in lackness;
          but how romantic could this silence
          be murdering chaste affection,
          never to death but non-existence
          without acquainting my intention.
