Orpheus - Symphonia

We reden often and find ywrite, as clerkes don us to wite

The lays that ben of harping ben yfounde of ferly thing

She was in virginity and untouchable:

A fruit with sweetness and darkness

Headlong flaming, throught the twilight I fall

Being no one’s sleep under so many eyelids

«A sudden mad desire surprised and sized

Fault to be forgiven, might Hell forgive!»

Suddenly the god stopped her, with anguish in his cry

Uttered the words: «He has turned 'round»

But far off, darkly before the bright

«What ruin hath thy passion wrought

The unpitying fates are recalling me

Dark sleep closes my swimming eyes»

But far off, darkly before the bright

«What ruin hath thy passion wrought

The unpitying fates recall me

Dark sleep closes my swimming eyes»

But far off, darkly before the bright;

«What ruin hath thy passion wrought

The unpitying fates are recalling me

Dark sleep closes my swimming eyes

And now, farewell:

Girt with enormous night, I am borne away

Outstretching towards thee — O thine no more

This helpless hands»
