Caroling Dusk/To a Persistent Phantom

TO A PERSISTENT PHANTOM

I buried you deeper last nightYou with your tearsAnd your tangled hairYou with your lipsThat kissed so fairI buried you deeper last night.
​
I buried you deeper last nightWith fuller breastsAnd stronger armsWith softer lipsAnd newer charmsI buried you deeper last night.
Deeper . . . . . . aye, deeperAnd again tonightTill that gay spiritThat once was youWill tear its soulIn climbing through . . .Deeper . . . . . . aye, deeperI buried you deeper last night.
