First lines
Frivolous is my hate, Singed with bestial remorse Of unfulfilment of desired force, And lust of tearing late;
Now could I raise Her dead, dark body to my own And hear the joyous rustle of her bone And in her eyes see deathly blaze; Now could I wake
To passion after death, and taste The rapture of her hating, tear the waste Of body. Break, her dead, dark body, break.
