Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE DFDFBBBB GHGHIDID IJIJGIGI FBFBGBGB GGGGKJKJ| In the greenest of our valleys | A |
| By good angels tenanted | B |
| Once a fair and stately palace | C |
| Radiant palace reared its head | B |
| In the monarch Thought's dominion | D |
| It stood there | E |
| Never seraph spread a pinion | D |
| Over fabric half so fair | E |
| - | |
| Banners yellow glorious golden | D |
| On its roof did float and flow | F |
| This all this was in the olden | D |
| Time long ago | F |
| And every gentle air that dallied | B |
| In that sweet day | B |
| Along the ramparts plumed and pallid | B |
| A winged odor went away | B |
| - | |
| Wanderers in that happy valley | G |
| Through two luminous windows saw | H |
| Spirits moving musically | G |
| To a lute's well tuned law | H |
| Bound about a throne where sitting | I |
| Porphyrogene | D |
| In state his glory well befitting | I |
| The ruler of the realm was seen | D |
| - | |
| And all with pearl and ruby glowing | I |
| Was the fair palace door | J |
| Through which came flowing flowing flowing | I |
| And sparkling evermore | J |
| A troop of Echoes whose sweet duty | G |
| Was but to sing | I |
| In voices of surpassing beauty | G |
| The wit and wisdom of their king | I |
| - | |
| But evil things in robes of sorrow | F |
| Assailed the monarch's high estate | B |
| Ah let us mourn for never morrow | F |
| Shall dawn upon him desolate | B |
| And round about his home the glory | G |
| That blushed and bloomed | B |
| Is but a dim remembered story | G |
| Of the old time entombed | B |
| - | |
| And travellers now within that valley | G |
| Through the red litten windows see | G |
| Vast forms that move fantastically | G |
| To a discordant melody | G |
| While like a ghastly rapid river | K |
| Through the pale door | J |
| A hideous throng rush out forever | K |
| And laugh but smile no more | J |
