      "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!",
      "",
      "Banners yellow, glorious, golden,",
      "  On its 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-tunëd law,",
      "Bound 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 sweet 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 travellers, now, within that valley,",
      "  Through the red-litten windows see",
      "Vast forms, that move fantastically",
      "  To a discordant melody,",
      "  While, like a ghastly rapid river,",
      "  Through the pale door",
      "A hideous throng rush out forever",
      "  And laugh--but smile no more."
