The Lady Monologue from A Dramatic Fantasy

From A Dramatic Fantasy by Ernest Dowson

female · melancholic · 45 sec

Yea, thou art one of hers! But, ere this night, Often I watched my sisters take their flight Down heaven's stairway of the clustered stars To gaze on mortals through their lattice bars; And some in sleep they woo with dreams of bliss Too shadowy to tell, and some they kiss. But all to whom they come, my sisters say, Forthwith forget all joyance of the day, Forget their laughter and forget their tears, And dream away with singing all their years— Moon-lovers always!
