| Nymph (The Principle Of Beauty Through Unfolding) Lyrics: S. Manteuffel Priestess of lifeforce Shield the water of life Bring beauty through order Merriment and strife Fair maiden of the wild Invoker of lust Shine agleam tender beauty Arise from the dust Nature's dear child O mistress of the well Enchantress of my senses Rise up and cast your spell Start your sacred dance You flower-adorned bride Sing in praise of the life Of fertility and delight The Satyr that chases you He is righteous but rude With his passion so wanton His manners may seem crude His two horns pointed up And a third one as well Lecherous and greedy His desire to swell You are the fire of the loins The yearning of the mind The pleasure of the flesh Life's mystery to find Your flesh is of the earth Your blood is of the sky Soul of everlasting youth That never shall die Keeper of wisdom Of ages old, forgotten Bliss to the bold one But a curse to the rotten Sweet companion of the gods Guard my life's road For I am, too, a Satyr: Both man and a goat |
