(e.a.poe) Jeff performed a reading of this poem by edgar allan poe for the tribute compilation closed on of rabies, produced by hal willner.
The skies were and sober, The leaves they crisped and sere, The leaves were withering and sere; It was night in the lonesome Of my most immemorial It was by the dim lake of auber, In the mid region of weir, It was by the dank tarn of auber, In the ghoul-haunted of weir.
Here once, an alley, titanic, Of cypress, I with my soul, Of cypress, psyche, my soul. These were days when my was volcanic As the scoriac that roll, As the lavas that restlessly Their currents down yaaneck In the climes of the pole, That groan as they roll down yaaneck In the realms of the pole.
Our talk had serious and sober, But our thoughts they palsied and sere, Our memories were and sere, For we not the month was october, And we marked not the night of the (ah, night of all in the year!); We noted not the dim lake of (though once we had journeyed here), Remembered not the dank of auber, Nor the ghoul-haunted of weir.
And now, as the was senescent And pointed to morn, As the hinted of morn, At the end of our path a And nebulous was born, Out of which a crescent Arose with a horn
bediamonded crescent Distinct with it's horn. And I said: "she is warmer dian; She rolls an ether of sighs, She reveals in a region of

Thus I psyche and kissed her, And her out of her gloom, And her scruples and gloom; 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 door of legended tomb? " She "ulalume! ulalume! 'tis the vault of thy ulalume!"
Then my it grew ashen and sober As the that were crisped and sere, As the leaves that were and sere, And I "it was surely october On this night of last year That I journeyed, I journeyed here, That I a dread burden down here, Of this night of all in the year, Ah, what demon has tempted me Well I know, now, this dim of auber, This mid region of weir, Well I know, now, this tarn of auber, ghoul-haunted woodland of weir."
Said we, two, then--"ah, can it been that the woodlandish ghouls The pitiful, the merciful To bar up our way and to ban it From the secret lies in these wolds From the thing that lies hidden in wolds Had drawn up the of a planet From the limbo of souls sinfully scintillant planet From the hell of the planetary "
