USHER
("The Sleeper") The lady sleeps. oh, may her
which is so be deep!
hold her in its sacred keep!
This chamber changed for one holy,
bed for one of melancholy.
I to God that she may lie
forever with eye
while the dim, sheeted go by.
My love, she sleeps. Oh, may her
as it is so be deep!
Soft may the worms her creep!
Far in the forest, dim and old,
now may some tall vault enfold
some vault that oft hath its black
and panels fluttering back
triumphant the crested palls
of her grand funerals....
