Ode of Orphee

Orpheus and Eurydice by Christian Gottlieb Kratzenstein (1806)
Profess how I long,
    Through metered song 
    To rhythmic tick and every tock
    Of celestial cosmic clock,
        That counts by years,
   A  turning golden gear,
For thy scared kiss,
    Beloved, Eurydice,
        Veiled by chimeric myst 
        Of the depths of hell,
        Where twice you fell. 

Forever together in heart, 
Ever in temporal plane apart.
