Thou wert fair in the fearless old fashion,
And thy limbs are as melodies yet,
And move to the music of passion
With lithe and lascivious regret.
What ailed us, O gods, to desert you
For creeds that refuse and restrain?
Come down and redeem us from virtue,
Our Lady of Pain.

Lady of Pain

And thy limbs are as melodies yet,
And move to the music of passion
With lithe and lascivious regret.

Our Lady of Pain.
