[00:00.00]	作曲 : Anna-Varney Cantodea
[00:01.00]	作词 : Edgar Allan Poe
[00:54.983]	At midnight,in the month of June,
[01:01.569]	I stand beneath the mystic moon.
[01:07.904]	An opiate vapor,dewy,dim,
[01:14.351]	Exhales from out her golden rim,
[01:20.581]	And,softly dripping,drop by drop,
[01:27.207]	Upon the quiet mountain top,
[01:33.517]	Steals drowsily and musically
[01:39.773]	Into the universal valley,
[01:46.254]	The rosemary nods upon the grave;
[01:52.710]	The lily lolls upon the wave;
[01:59.221]	Wrapping the fog about its breast,
[02:05.497]	The ruin molders into rest;
[02:11.991]	Looking like Lethe,see!the lake
[02:18.277]	A conscious slumber seems to take,
[02:24.623]	And would not,for the world,awake.
[02:30.974]	And would not,for the world,awake.
[02:37.495]	All Beauty sleeps!-and lo!where lies
[02:43.745]	the skace men dou ben till the sky.
[02:52.73]	Irene,with her Destinies!
[03:03.401]	O,lady bright!can it be right-
[03:09.433]	This window open to the night?
[03:15.805]	The wanton airs,from the tree-top,
[03:22.217]	Laughingly through the lattice drop-
[03:28.636]	The bodiless airs,a wizard rout,
[03:35.102]	Flit through thy chamber in and out,
[03:41.417]	And wave the curtain canopy
[03:47.748]	So fitfully-so cearfully-
[05:41.203]	Above the closed and fringed lid
[05:47.50]	''Neath which thy slumb ′′ring soul lies hid,
[05:53.509]	That,o ′′er the floor and down the wall,
[05:59.709]	Like ghosts the shadows rise and fall!
[06:06.248]	Oh,lady dear,hast thou no fear?
[06:12.476]	Why and what art thou dreaming here?
[06:18.882]	Sure thou art come O ′′er far-off seas,
[06:25.246]	A wonder to these garden trees!
[07:10.432]	Strange is thy pallor!strange thy dress,
[07:16.437]	Strange,above all,thy length of tress,
[07:22.32]	And this all this
[07:29.289]	And this all solemn silentness!
[07:35.665]	My lover sleeps!Oh,may her sleep,
[07:41.981]	Which is enduring,so be deep!
[07:48.514]	Heaven have her in its sacred keep!
[08:01.404]	This chamber changed for one more holy,
[08:07.637]	This bed for one more melancholy,
[08:12.832]	I pray to God that he may lie
[08:20.349]	For ever with unopened eye,
[08:27.706]	While the pale sheeted ghosts go by!
[09:32.632]	My love,she sleeps!Oh,may her sleep
[09:35.555]	As it is lasting,so be deep!
[09:38.658]	Soft may the worms about her creep!
[09:41.650]	May the worms about her creep!
[09:45.13]	My love,she sleeps!Oh,may her sleep
[09:47.716]	As it is lasting,so be deep!
[09:50.879]	Soft may the worms about her creep!
[09:53.887]	May the worms about her creep!
[10:21.401]	Far in the forest,dim and old,
[10:27.722]	For her may some tall vault unfold-
[10:33.749]	Some vault that of the flung its black
[10:40.03]	And winged panels fluttering back,
[10:46.279]	Triumphant,o ′′er the crested palls,
[10:52.214]	Of her grand family funerals-
[10:58.630]	Some sepulchre,remote,alone,
[11:04.554]	Against whose portal she hath thrown,
[11:11.974]	In childhood,many an idle stone-
[11:22.707]	Some tomb from out whose sounding door
[11:29.133]	She never shall force an echo more,
[11:36.428]	Thrilling to think,poor child of sin!
[11:42.162]	It was the dead who groaned within.

[00:54.983]	At midnight, in the month of June,
[01:01.569]	I stand beneath the mystic moon.
[01:07.904]	An opiate vapor, dewy, dim,
[01:14.351]	Exhales from out her golden rim,
