lyrics

The Haunted Palace In The Poe' Land

In the greenest of our valleys by good angels tenanted,
once a fair and stately palace,
radiant palace reared its head.
In the monarch thought's dominion, it stood there!
Never seraph spread a pinion over fabric half so fair!
Banner yellow, glorious, golden,
on it's roof did float and flow,
this all this was in the olden time long ago.
And every gentle air that dallied,
in that sweet day,
along the ramparts plumed and pallid,
a winged odor went away
wanderers in that happy valley.
Through two luminous windows,
saw spirits moving musically,
to a lute's well tuned law.
Round about a throne where, sitting Porphyrogene,in state his glory well befitting the ruler of the realm was seen.
And all with pearl and ruby glowing was the fair palace door, through which came flowing, flowing, flowing and sparkling evermore,
a troop of Echoes, whose tweet duty was but to sing,
in voices of surpassing beauty,
the wit and wisdom of their king.
But evil things, in robes of sorrow,
assailed the monarch's high estate.
Ah! Let us mourn!
For never morrow
shall dawn upon him, desolate!
And round about his home the glory that blushed and bloomed
is but a dim-remembered story
of the old time entombed.
And travelers, now, within that valley,
through the encrimsoned windows
see vast forms that move fantastically
to a discordant melody,
while, like a ghastly rapid river
through the pale door
a hideous through rush
out forever and laugh
but smile No More!
