The threefold terror of love; a fallen flare
Through the hollow of an ear
Wings beating about the room
The terror of all terrors that I bore
The Heavens in my womb.
Had I not found content among the shows
Every common woman knows
Chimney corner, garden walk
Or rocky cistern where we tread the clothes
And gather all the talk?
What is this flesh I purchased with my pains
This fallen star my milk sustains
This love that makes my heart's blood stop
Or strikes a Sudden chill into my bones
And bids my hair stand up?

The threefold terror of love; a fallen flare
Through the hollow of an ear
Wings beating about the room
The terror of all terrors that I bore
The Heavens in my womb.
Had I not found content among the shows
Every common woman knows
Chimney corner, garden walk
Or rocky cistern where we tread the clothes
And gather all the talk?
What is this flesh I purchased with my pains
This fallen star my milk sustains
This love that makes my heart's blood stop
Or strikes a Sudden chill into my bones
And bids my hair stand up?
Through the hollow of an ear
Wings beating about the room
The terror of all terrors that I bore
The Heavens in my womb.
Had I not found content among the shows
Every common woman knows
Chimney corner, garden walk
Or rocky cistern where we tread the clothes
And gather all the talk?
What is this flesh I purchased with my pains
This fallen star my milk sustains
This love that makes my heart's blood stop
Or strikes a Sudden chill into my bones
And bids my hair stand up?
