Alma Strettell - Chrysilla Lyrics

When the cup is filled full and my strength shall be failing
O Goddess, spare me the sight about my bed
Of regretting time that cuts too late the thread
Tearless ending, a life undesir’d, unavailing

Arm thou but Love instead! Of old upon my heart he wars;
Full well I know that he were fain to dye the earth with cruel red
And see my life’s blood rain burst streaming from the wound
Of his last, fiercest dart

Ah no! Let my lost youth with a smile
Then draw nigh me, in naked beauty standing silently by me
Letting fall one by one the soft petals of a rose

“Farewell” the fountain sobs, and calmly mine ear hearkens
What need of scythe or dart? Mine eyelids then will close
Sealed with a last long kiss as the shadow darkens
