Cleopatra to Anthony - ZaunköniG - 25.06.2007 Cleopatra to Anthony Go from me now; I will no longer feel Your burning kisses on my fevered lips; You shall not hold one moment e'en the tips Of my shut fingers, though you cry and kneel. My face aches, and my tired senses reel; Through all my veins a drowsy poison slips; My sight grows dim with gradual eclipse, For slumber on mine eyes has set his seal. Get hence; I will no more to-night; the bars Of love are placed against you now: go while I hate you not, my Roman; the sick stars Wax faint and pallid in the dawn's red smile, Look! I am quenched in sleep, as nenuphars Are quenched in the broad bosom of the Nile. |
