RODERICK
("The Sleeper") The lady sleeps. oh, may her
which is so be deep!
Heaven her in its sacred keep!
This chamber changed for one holy,
bed for one of melancholy.
I pray to God she may lie
with unopened eye
while the dim, ghosts 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 vault enfold her;
some that oft hath flung its black
and winged panels back
triumphant o'er the crested
of her grand funerals....
