Now the sombre shadows thicken and I feel my heartbeat quicken
At my melancholy musings on the one that I adore
Ah! My beautiful Victoria! Her name evokes euphoria!
Her love might lead a warrior to make a cause for war!
Surely Paris would shun Helen as a diamond with a flaw
If Victoria he saw…

Yet the very contemplation of my Angel brings deflation
Of my soul, and so my spirit is a boat without an oar
Should I look for Eldorado in my best Amontillado?
Or perhaps that false bravado the Green Faerie would assure,
Seeking silent sinking solace in the Dionysian maw
As I often have before…?
