[00:00.29]The Sleeper Edgar Allan POE) - Sopo Aeternus
[00:55.65]At midnight in the month of June
[01:02.14]I stand beneath the mystic moon
[01:08.59]An opiate vapor dewy dim
[01:14.84]Exhales from out her golden rim
[01:21.26]And softly dripping drop by drop
[01:27.73]Upon the quiet mountain top
[01:34.11]Steals drowsily and musically
[01:40.49]Into the universal valley
[01:46.83]The rosemary nods upon the grave
[01:53.26]The lily lolls upon the wave
[01:59.72]Wrapping the fog about it's breast
[02:05.92]The ruin molders into rest
[02:12.61]Looking like Lethe see the lake
[02:18.86]A conscious slumber seems to take
[02:25.27]And would not for the world awake
[02:31.71]And would not for the world awake
[02:38.08]All Beauty sleeps - and lo where lies
[02:44.47]The skace men dou ben till the sky
[02:51.18]Irene with her Destinies
[03:04.85]O lady bright can it be right
[03:10.09]This window open to the night
[03:16.65]The wanton airs from the tree-top
[03:22.84]Laughingly through the lattice drop
[03:29.37]The bodiless airs a wizard rout
[03:35.66]Flit through thy chamber in and out
[03:42.25]And wave the curtain canopy
[03:48.37]So fitfully- so cearfully
[05:41.61]Above the closed and fringed lid
[05:47.80]Neath which thy slumb ring soul lies hid
[05:54.30]That over the floor and down the wall
[06:00.61]Like ghosts the shadows rise and fall
[06:07.07]Oh lady dear hast thou no fear
[06:13.31]Why and what art thou dreaming here
[06:19.64]Sure thou art come over far-off seas
[06:25.86]A wonder to these garden trees
[07:11.40]Strange is thy pallor strange thy dress
[07:17.28]Strange above all thy length of tress
[07:23.03]And this all this
[07:30.13]And this all solemn silentness
[07:36.76]My lover sleeps Oh may her sleep
[07:42.75]Which is enduring so be deep
[07:50.00]Heaven have her in it's sacred keep
[08:02.28]This chamber changed for one more holy
[08:08.60]This bed for one more melancholy
[08:14.20]I pray to God that he may lie
[08:21.35]For ever with unopened eye
[08:28.88]While the pale sheeted ghosts go by
[09:33.97]My love she sleeps Oh may her sleep
[09:36.69]As it is lasting so be deep
[09:40.07]Soft may the worms about her creep
[09:43.09]May the worms about her creep
[09:46.03]My love she sleeps Oh may her sleep
[09:49.01]As it is lasting so be deep
[09:52.09]Soft may the worms about her creep
[09:55.14]May the worms about her creep
[09:59.33]My love she sleeps oh may her sleep
[10:04.38]As it is lasting so be deep
[10:10.46]Soft may the worms about her creep
[10:22.79]Far in the forest dim and old
[10:28.86]For her may some tall vault unfold
[10:34.99]Some vault that of the flung it's black
[10:41.12]And winged panels fluttering back
[10:47.48]Triumphant over the crested palls
[10:53.47]Of her grand family funerals
[10:59.50]Some sepulchre remote alone
[11:05.79]Against whose portal she hath thrown
[11:13.60]In childhood many an idle stone
[11:24.00]Some tomb from out whose sounding door
[11:30.51]She never shall force an echo more
[11:37.01]Thrilling to think poor child of sin
[11:43.72]It was the dead who groaned within
