RODERICK
("The Sleeper") The sleeps. oh, may her sleep
which is so be deep!
hold her in its sacred keep!
This changed for one more holy,
bed for one of melancholy.
I to God that she may lie
forever unopened eye
while the dim, sheeted go by.
My love, she sleeps. Oh, may her
as it is so be deep!
may the worms around her creep!
Far in the forest, dim and old,
now may some tall vault her;
some vault that oft flung its black
and winged panels back
triumphant o'er the crested
of her grand funerals....
