Purple Flower ft. Czafari. Lyrics

Thou rememb'rest

Since once I sat upon a promontory

And heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back

Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath,

That the rude sea grew civil at her song

And certain stars shot madly from their spheres

To hear the sea-maid's music?

That very time I saw — but thou couldst not —

Flying between the cold moon and the earth

Cupid all armed. A certain aim he took

At a fair vestal thronèd by the west,

And loosed his love-shaft smartly from his bow

As it should pierce a hundred thousand hearts.

But I might see young Cupid's fiery shaft

Quenched in the chaste beams of the wat'ry moon,

And the imperial vot'ress passèd on

In maiden meditation, fancy-free.

Yet marked I where the bolt of Cupid fell.

It fell upon a little western flower,

Before, milk-white, now purple with love's wound,

Fetch me that flower, the herb I showed thee once.

The juice of it, on sleeping eyelids laid,

Will make or man or woman madly dote

Upon the next live creature that it sees.

Fetch me this herb, and be thou here again

Ere the leviathan can swim a league.

Purple flower, purple flower, purple flower

Cupid's arrow hit upon a purple flower,

Purple flower, purple flower,

Cupid's arrow hit upon a purple flower,

Purple flower, purple flower,

Cupid's arrow hit upon a purple flower,

Purple flower, purple flower,

Cupid's arrow hit upon a purple flower.

Having once this juice

I'll watch Titania when she is asleep,

And drop the liquor of it in her eyes.

The next thing then she waking looks upon —

Be it on lion, bear, or wolf, or bull,

On meddling monkey, or on busy ape —

She shall pursue it with the soul of love.

And ere I take this charm from off her sight —

As I can take it with another herb —

I'll make her render up her page to me.

Purple flower, purple flower, purple flower

Cupid's arrow hit upon a purple flower,

Purple flower, purple flower,

Cupid's arrow hit upon a purple flower,

Purple flower, purple flower,

Cupid's arrow hit upon a purple flower,

Purple flower, purple flower,

Cupid's arrow hit upon a purple flower.
