The rose of the night - griffes

Charles T Griffes.
Norman Myrvik, tenor
Emanuel Levenson, piano

The dark rose of thy mouth
Draw nigher, draw nigher!
Thy breath is the wind of the south
A wind of fire!
The wind and the rose and darkness,
O Rose of my Desire.
As the wind eddying flame
Leaping higher and higher,
Thy soul, thy secret name,
Leaps thro' Death's blazing pyre!
Kiss me,
Imperishable Fire
Dark Rose,
O Rose oft Desire!
