Three nymphs, at the right wheel
While underneath, the ground
Beneath a sky so beautiful
Already had my steps
A lady young and beautiful, I dream'd, was passing o'er a lea
And when i saw spirits along the flame proceeding
Then from the bosom oj' the burning mass
Here the rocky precipice
At length, as undeceived, they went their 'vay
The shadowy forms
And who are those twain spirits?
With wary steps and slow we pass'd
And while, with looks directed to the ground
Up, he exclaim'd, " brother I upon thy feet arise"
What Aileth Thee, that still thou look'st to earth?
But not long slumber'd
Long as 'tis lawful for me, shall my steps follow on thine
Now who art thou, that through our smoke dost cleave?
After that I saw a multitude
Who then, amongst us here aloft, hath brought thee?
E'en thus the blind and poor
O fond arachne! thee i also saw
With equal pace, as oxen in the yoke
The wretch appear'd amid all these to say
The heavenly steersman at the prow was seen
In visage such, as past my power to bear
There both, I thought, the eagle and myself did burn
Now the fair consort of tithonus old
Then when he knew the pilot
My guide, then laying hold on me, by words
The radiant planet, that to love invites
Hearing the air cut by their verdant plumes
While this way or that way each rapidly shoots off Hop o' my Thumb takes the seven league Boots off.
By arm, leg, or head, He dragged all the urchins from under the bed.
Who are you, You queer little crew?
Far away Shines a single ray.
Where the waterfall piped in the shrillest of trebles Hop o' my Thumb filled his pockets with pebbles.
And here and there along the track Dropping a pebble to guide him back.
He saw on her cheek a tear-drop glisten, So he hid himself under her chair to listen.
Without and ado It slipt into the shoe!
The men were enchanted. The ladies said 'Well, a More brazen-faced thing -! meaning poor Cinderella.
Now pumpkins-some fry 'em, some boil 'em, some stew 'em But no one before ever made one a brougham!
The abode, I suppose, of a man of position? The palace, said they 'of a mighty magician!'
Quite delighted, I'm sure, - so Puss courteously spake, - The acquaintance of one o distinguished to make!
Then haste to your stations And make him the lowest of low salutations
His cries the whole neighborhood round might awaken - The Marquis of Carabas' clothes have been taken!
Oh, Granny, your teeth are tremendous in size! They're to eat you! - and he ate her!
Before she had time to exclaim 'oh, my gracious!' She was bolted entire by the monster voracious.
I'm going to my granny's to carry this jar And this cake from my mother. Indeed! Is it Far?
Every step be nearer set, Oped the eyes of violet.
Until he reached the grandest room of all, The banquet-hall.
Huntsman bold returned from sport Snoring, horns to lips!
He sees a flight of steps, a gate overgrown with truant roses, And some one who beside the gate in that warm sunshine dozes.
That embowered pile did seem A cloud from some fantastic dream.
The Princess looked in at the door and said - What bonny white wool, and what bonny white thread!
Frontispiece.
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Sorrow for the lost Lenore.
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore-- Nameless here for evermore.
Tis some visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door-- Some late visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door.
--Here I opened wide the door
-- Darkness there, and nothing more.
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
'Surely,' said I, 'surely that is something at my window lattice; Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore.
Open here I flung the shutter.
--A stately Raven of the saintly days of yore. Not the least obeisance made he
not a minute stopped or stayed he.
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door-- Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
Wandering from the Nightly shore.
Till I scarcely more than muttered, 'Other friends have flown before-- On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking Fancy unto fancy.
But whose velvet violet lining with the lamplight gloating o'er She shall press, ah, nevermore!
'Wretch,' I cried, 'thy God hath lent thee--by these angels he hath sent thee Respite--respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
'Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked, upstarting.
Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted--nevermore!
The secret of the Sphinx.
On this home by Horror haunted.
Tell me truly, I implore-- Is there--is there balm in Gilead?--tell me--tell me, I implore!
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow--sorrow for the lost Lenore.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore.
