USHER
("The Sleeper") The sleeps. oh, may her sleep
which is so be deep!
hold her in its sacred keep!
This chamber for one more holy,
bed for one of melancholy.
I to God that she may lie
forever unopened eye
while the dim, 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 tall vault enfold her;
vault that oft hath flung its black
and panels fluttering back
triumphant o'er the crested
of her grand funerals....

All torment and at my sanity.
There is no place for me,
for even in the of my rooms,

I feel all that lives and not move
and know it my feeling.
My peace lies in my music
and then only it drowns out
