| [01:07.50] | In the greenest of our valleys |
| [01:11.79] | By good angels tenanted |
| [01:18.49] | Once a fair and stately palace |
| [01:23.57] | Radiant palace, reared its head |
| [01:30.89] | In the monarch thought's dominion |
| [01:37.94] | It stood there |
| [01:42.71] | Never seraph spread a pinion |
| [01:47.57] | Over fabric half so fair. |
| [02:26.30] | Banners yellow, glorious, golden |
| [02:33.31] | On its roof did float and flow, |
| [02:39.20] | This, all this, was in the olden time long ago |
| [02:50.58] | And every gentle air that dallied |
| [02:57.17] | In that sweet day |
| [03:02.13] | Along the ramparts plumed and pallid |
| [03:09.42] | A winged odor went away. |
| [03:43.98] | Wanderers in that happy valley |
| [03:50.90] | Through two luminous windows saw |
| [03:55.71] | Spirits moving musically |
| [04:01.29] | To a lute's well-tuned law |
| [04:07.75] | Round about a throne where sitting |
| [04:14.47] | (Porphyrogene!) |
| [04:19.57] | In state his glory well-befitting |
| [04:26.43] | The ruler of the realm was seen. |
| [05:27.50] | And all with pearl and ruby glowing |
| [05:33.10] | Was the fair palace door |
| [05:38.11] | Through which came flowing, flowing, flowing |
| [05:43.96] | And sparkling evermore |
| [05:49.91] | A troop of echoes whose sweet duty |
| [05:57.10] | Was but to sing |
| [06:03.59] | In voices of surpassing beauty |
| [06:09.53] | The wit and wisdom of their king. |
| [07:10.59] | But evil things in robes of sorrow |
| [07:17.55] | Assailed the monarch's high estate |
| [07:21.73] | (Ah, let us mourn! for never morrow |
| [07:27.69] | Shall dawn upon his desolate !) |
| [07:33.96] | And round about his home the glory |
| [07:40.63] | That blushed and bloomed |
| [07:45.14] | Is but a dim-remembered story |
| [07:52.20] | Of the old time entombed. |
| [08:04.80] | And travellers, now, within that valley |
| [08:10.41] | Through the red-litten windows see |
| [08:15.77] | Vast forms that move fantastically |
| [08:22.60] | To a discordant melody |
| [08:27.73] | While, like a ghastly rapid river, |
| [08:34.50] | Through the pale door |
| [08:39.41] | A hideous throng rush out forever |
| [08:46.12] | And laugh but smile no more. |
