The were ashen and sober, The they were crisped and sere, The leaves were withering and sere; It was in the lonesome october Of my most immemorial It was by the dim lake of auber, In the mid region of weir, It was down by the dank of auber, In the woodland of weir.
once, through an alley, titanic, Of cypress, I with my soul, Of cypress, psyche, my soul. These were days 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 roll down mount yaaneck In the of the boreal pole.
Our had been serious and sober, But our they were palsied and sere, Our memories were and sere, For we knew not the 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 woodland of weir.
And now, as the was senescent And pointed to morn, As the star-dials of morn, At the end of our path a And nebulous was born, Out of a miraculous crescent Arose with a duplicate
Astarte's crescent Distinct with duplicate horn. And I "she is warmer than dian; She rolls through an of sighs, She reveals in a region of
She has seen that the are not dry on These cheeks, where the worm dies, And has past the stars of the lion, To point us the to the skies, To the lethean peace of the up, in despite of the lion, To shine on us with her eyes, up through the lair of the lion, With love in her eyes."

Well I know, now, dim lake of auber, misty mid region of weir, Well I know, now, this dank of auber, This ghoul-haunted of weir."
