In the greenest of our valleys | B |
By good angels tenanted | C |

Banners yellow glorious golden | E |
On its roof did float and flow | G |

And every gentle air that dallied | C |
In that sweet day | C |
Along the ramparts plumed and pallid | C |
A winged odour went away | C |

Wanderers in that happy valley | H |
Through two luminous windows saw | I |

VI | K |
And travelers now within that valley | H |
Through the red litten windows see | H |
Vast forms that move fantastically | H |
To a discordant melody | H |
While like a rapid ghastly river | M |
Through the pale door | L |
A hideous throng rush out forever | M |
And laugh but smile no more | L |
