[00:55.32] At midnight in the month of June
[01:01.95] I stand beneath the mystic moon
[01:08.68] An opiate vapor dewy dim
[01:14.74] Exhales from out her golden rim
[01:21.12] And softly dripping drop by drop
[01:27.56] Upon the quiet mountain top
[01:34.06] Steals drowsily and musically
[01:40.24] Into the universal valley
[01:46.74] The rosemary nods upon the grave
[01:53.31] The lily lolls upon the wave
[01:59.74] Wrapping the fog about its breast
[02:05.93] The ruin molders into rest
[02:12.56] Looking like Lethe see! the lake
[02:18.75] A conscious slumber seems to take
[02:25.81] And would not for the world awake
[02:31.62] And would not for the world awake
[02:37.99] All Beauty sleeps!- and lo! where lies
[02:44.31] the skace men dou ben till the sky
[02:51.14] Irene with her Destinies!
[03:03.76] O lady bright! can it be right-
[03:10.01] This window open to the night
[03:16.39] The wanton airs from the tree-top
[03:22.70] Laughingly through the lattice drop-
[03:29.08] The bodiless airs a wizard rout
[03:35.58] Flit through thy chamber in and out
[03:41.89] And wave the curtain canopy
[03:48.14] So fitfully- so cearfully-
[05:41.58] Above the closed and fringed lid
[05:47.27] ''Neath which thy slumb′′ring soul lies hid
[05:53.70] That o′′er the floor and down the wall
[06:00.08] Like ghosts the shadows rise and fall!
[06:07.02] Oh lady dear hast thou no fear
[06:12.89] Why and what art thou dreaming here
[06:19.33] Sure thou art come O′′er far-off seas
[06:25.70] A wonder to these garden trees!
[07:11.64] Strange is thy pallor! strange thy dress
[07:17.02] Strange above all thy length of tress
[07:22.52] And this all this
[07:29.89] And this all solemn silentness!
[07:36.27] My lover sleeps! Oh may her sleep
[07:42.58] Which is enduring so be deep!
[07:49.70] Heaven have her in its sacred keep!
[08:01.58] This chamber changed for one more holy
[08:08.52] This bed for one more melancholy
[08:13.77] I pray to God that he may lie
[08:21.02] For ever with unopened eye
[08:28.14] While the pale sheeted ghosts go by!
[09:33.77] My love she sleeps! Oh may her sleep
[09:36.58] As it is lasting so be deep!
[09:39.33] Soft may the worms about her creep!
[09:42.95] May the worms about her creep!
[09:45.70] My love she sleeps! Oh may her sleep
[09:48.58] As it is lasting so be deep!
[09:51.64] Soft may the worms about her creep!
[09:54.70] May the worms about her creep!
[10:22.95] Far in the forest dim and old
[10:28.33] For her may some tall vault unfold-
[10:34.14] Some vault that of the flung its black
[10:40.64] And winged panels fluttering back
[10:46.96] Triumphant o′′er the crested palls
[10:53.02] Of her grand family funerals-
[10:59.14] Some sepulchre remote alone
[11:05.27] Against whose portal she hath thrown
[11:12.02] In childhood many an idle stone-
[11:23.52] Some tomb from out whose sounding door
[11:29.64] She never shall force an echo more
[11:36.50] Thrilling to think poor child of sin!
[11:43.12] It was the dead who groaned within
[00:00.009]
[99:00.000]
