USHER
("The Sleeper") The sleeps. oh, may her sleep
is enduring 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 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 oft hath flung its black
and panels fluttering back
triumphant o'er the crested
of her family funerals....
USHER

USHER I the light,

by the faintest gleam of sun.

I hear the sucking at the walls,
I bats breathing
I hear the sky moan to with the slime!
And this,
all this thunder to me,

My senses at me:
Sight... Touch... Sight... Touch...
Sound and Taste... and Scent,
All and claw at my sanity.
There is no place for me,
for in the quietest of my rooms,
I the walls in conversation;
I the palpitations of my heart;
I feel all that lives and does not
and it knows my feeling.
My only peace in my music
and only because it drowns out
all other and souls...
You may that I am mad, but it is not so.
My senses reel beneath the blow of falling
