The were ashen and sober, The leaves were crisped and sere, The leaves were withering and sere; It was night in the lonesome Of my most year; It was by the dim lake of auber, In the misty mid of weir, It was down by the tarn of auber, In the woodland of weir.
Here once, an alley, titanic, Of cypress, I with my soul, Of cypress, psyche, my soul. These days when my heart was volcanic As the scoriac that roll, As the lavas that restlessly Their sulphurous down yaaneck In the climes of the pole, That groan as they roll down mount In the realms of the pole.
Our talk had serious and sober, But our thoughts they were and sere, Our memories treacherous and sere, For we not the month was october, And we marked not the of the year (ah, night of all in the year!); We not the dim lake of auber (though we had journeyed down here), Remembered not the dank of auber, Nor the ghoul-haunted of weir.
And now, as the was senescent And star-dials to morn, As the hinted of morn, At the end of our a liquescent And lustre was born, Out of which a crescent Arose a duplicate horn
bediamonded crescent Distinct with duplicate horn. And I said: "she is warmer than She through an ether of sighs, She reveals in a of sighs:
She has seen the tears are not dry on These cheeks, where the worm dies, And has come the stars of the lion, To us the path to the skies, To the peace of the skies; Come up, in of the lion, To shine on us her bright eyes, Come up the lair of the lion, With in her luminous eyes."
But psyche, her finger, "sadly this star I mistrust, Her I strangely mistrust; Oh, hasten! oh, let us not linger! Oh, fly! let us fly! for we must." In terror she spoke, sink her Wings until they in the dust; In agony sobbed, sink her Plumes till trailed in the dust, Till sorrowfully trailed in the dust.
I replied: "this is nothing but Let us on by this light! Let us in this crystalline light! Its sibyllic splendor is With hope and in to-night!
Ah, we safely may trust to gleaming, And be sure it will us aright; We may trust to a gleaming That but guide us aright, Since it up to heaven through the night."
Thus I pacified and kissed her, And her out of her gloom, And conquered her scruples and And we to the end of the vista, But were by the door of a tomb, By the door of a tomb, And I said:"what is written, sister, On the of this legended tomb? " She "ulalume! ulalume! the vault of thy lost ulalume!"
Then my it grew ashen and sober As the leaves that were and sere, As the leaves that withering and sere, And I cried: "it was october On this night of last year That I journeyed, I down here, That I brought a dread burden here, Of this of all nights in the year, Ah, what demon has tempted me Well I know, now, this dim of auber, misty mid region of weir, Well I know, now, dank tarn of auber, This ghoul-haunted of weir."
Said we, two, then--"ah, can it been that the woodlandish ghouls The pitiful, the ghouls To bar up our way and to ban it From the that lies in these wolds From the thing that lies hidden in these Had drawn up the spectre of a From the of lunary souls sinfully scintillant planet From the hell of the souls?
