There was music on the midnight	A
From a royal fane it roll'd	B
And a mighty bell each pause between	C
Sternly and slowly toll'd	B
Strange was their mingling in the sky	D
It hush'd the listener's breath	E
For the music spoke of triumph high	D
The lonely bell of death	E
	-
There was hurrying through the midnight	A
A sound of many feet	F
But they fell with a muffled fearfulness	G
Along the shadowy street	F
And softer fainter grew their tread	H
As it near'd the Minster gate	I
Whence broad and solemn light was shed	H
From a scene of royal state	I
	-
Full glow'd the strong red radiance	G
In the centre of the nave	J
Where the folds of a purple canopy	K
Sweep down in many a wave	J
Loading the marble pavement old	B
With a weight of gorgeous gloom	L
For something lay 'midst their fretted gold	B
Like a shadow of the tomb	L
	-
And within that rich pavilion	M
High on a glittering throne	N
A woman's form sat silently	K
Midst the glare of light alone	N
Her Jewell'd robes fell strangely still	O
The drapery on her breast	P
Seem'd with no pulse beneath to thrill	O
So stone like was its rest	P
	-
But a peal of lordly music	Q
Shook e'en the dust below	R
When the burning gold of the diadem	S
Was set on her pallid brow	T
Then died away that haughty sound	U
And from th' encircling band	V
Stept Prince and Chief 'midst the hush profound	U
With homage to her hand	V
	-
Why pass'd a faint cold shuddering	W
Over each martial frame	X
As one by one to touch that hand	V
Noble and leader came	X
Was not the settled aspect fair	Y
Did not a queenly grace	G
Under the parted ebon hair	Y
Sit on the pale still face	G
	-
Death Death canst	V
thou	T
be lovely	K
Unto the eye of Life	Z
Is not each pulse of the quick high breast	V
With thy cold mien at strife	Z
It was a strange and fearful sight	V
The crown upon that head	V
The glorious robes and the blaze of light	V
All gather'd round the Dead	V
	-
And beside her stood in silence	G
One with a brow as pale	A2
And white lips rigidly compress'd	V
Lest the strong heart should fail	A2
King Pedro with a jealous eye	D
Watching the homage done	M
By the land's flower and chivalry	K
To her his martyr'd one	M
	-
But on the face he look'd not	V
Which once his star had been	B2
To every form his glance was turn'd	V
Save of the breathless queen	C
Though something won from the grare's embrace	G
Of her beauty still was there	Y
Its hues were all of that shadowy place	G
'Twas not for	C2
him	D2
to bear	Y
	-
Alas the crown the sceptre	E2
The treasures of the earth	F2
And the priceless love that pour'd those gifts	G
Alike of wasted worth	F2
The rites are closed bear back the Dead	V
Unto the chamber deep	G2
Lay down again the royal head	V
Dust with the dust to sleep	G2
	-
There is music on the midnight	V
A requiem sad and slow	R
As the mourners through the sounding aisle	H2
In dark procession go	R
And the ring of state and the starry crown	I2
And all the rich array	J2
Are borne to the house of silence down	I2
With her that queen of clay	J2
	-
And tearlessly and firmly	K
King Pedro led the train	K2
But his face was wrapt in his folding robe	L2
When they lower'd the dust again	M2
'Tis hush'd at last the tomb above	N2
Hymns die and steps depart	V
Who call'd thee strong as Death O Love	N2
	-
Mightier	E2
thou wert and art	V
