Descending alone, we two bore the coffin to its rest His dearly beloved sister consumed by death "Madeline, my darling, why did you slumber so? The warmth of your flesh has disappeared and left me here all alone" Now, open the door! Open the door! "Hand me your torch! Hand me your torch!" Small, damp, dark, can hardly breathe Terrified to see what lies beneath To sleep above the one that sleepeth forever The copper archway lay directly below my room! Gunpowder smell inside the dungeon-keep The massive iron door grates sharp and low The mournful burden lay there upon a trestle, now The open coffin arrests attention newly found A striking similitude between the Ushers lie The sickly face of brother, the sister newly died "True, we were fraternal in this life She is my darling sister-wife Blood-bound as lovers intertwined Amidst this darkness, she was my light" Smiling there, she lies so fair Bosom red, "my love is dead" Replacing and securing the lid The countenance of Madeline was obscured Closing behind us the massive iron door We ascended with toll up to the empty home
