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-tunèd 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 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 never more.
