RODERICK
("The Sleeper") The lady sleeps. oh, may her
which is so be deep!
Heaven hold her in its keep!
This changed for one more holy,
bed for one of melancholy.
I pray to God she may lie
forever with eye
the dim, sheeted ghosts go by.
My love, she sleeps. Oh, may her
as it is so be deep!
Soft may the 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 fluttering
o'er the crested palls
of her grand funerals....
