William Blow's Pleasure Ground

They call it a pleasure ground
I care not to think
These lakes they consume me
Into them my soul it must sink

I have sat here for hours
Running life over my skin
Dreaming of another
As the deepening depth takes me in

Lost in a moment 
This pleasure held in time 
Broken they hold me
Broken they are mine

I long to know
How they once glowed
How their beauty once opened,
Once drifted, once flowed

So hear my wail
At the moonlit sky
Understand my plight 
As I slide into the lake to lie
