USHER
("The Sleeper") The lady sleeps. oh, may her
is enduring so be deep!
Heaven her in its sacred keep!
This chamber changed for one holy,
bed for one of melancholy.

now may tall vault enfold her;
some vault that oft flung its black
and winged panels fluttering
triumphant the crested palls
of her family funerals....
