there lived a girl of flight

This story fascinates
So that the air vibrates
And the real'ty veil
Lifts to show the tale

There was a girl of flight
Invisible to sight
Her presense only felt
In wind blows while they melt

And those with open mind
That subtly sense the hind
Enchanted petrify
And then forever die

Her wild magic glance
In gentle wind - a lance
Dements, the legends say
And carries soul away

Once shepherd that passed by
Felt his flute music fly
A goddess saw his eyes
Of thousand butterflies

His spirit rose and flew
On wind, into the blue
In his head music span
Delirium began

Enchanted was the maid
The shepherd didn't fade
When she with icy breath
Was filling him with Death

But glared with Life and hence
With Strength and with the Sense
When passed away, above
He filled her with the Love

And down she had flown
And found him of stone
And saving hope for chance
She looked in his stone glance

Her blow enveloped him
Her magic glance went dim
And on the earth in dell
With bitter drops she fell

It's very beautiful poem, nevertheless it's sad. I didn't understand all the words, but I translated them on-line. This is one of the most beautiful gothic poems I ever read. Thank you!
