Some to Aonian lyres of silver sound	A
With winning elegance attune their song	B
Form'd to sink lightly on the soothed sense	C
And charm the soul with softest harmony	D
'Tis then that Hope with sanguine eye is seen	E
Roving through Fancy's gay futurity	A
Her heart light dancing to the sounds of pleasure	F
Pleasure of days to come Memory too then	G
Comes with her sister Melancholy sad	A
Pensively musing on the scenes of youth	H
Scenes never to return	I
Such subjects merit poets used to raise	J
The attic verse harmonious but for me	D
A deadlier theme demands my backward hand	A
And bids me strike the strings of dissonance	K
With frantic energy	D
'Tis wan Despair I sing if sing I can	L
Of him before whose blast the voice of Song	B
And Mirth and Hope and Happiness all fly	M
Nor ever dare return His notes are heard	A
At noon of night where on the coast of blood	A
The lacerated son of Angola	N
Howls forth his sufferings to the moaning wind	A
And when the awful silence of the night	A
Strikes the chill death dew to the murderer's heart	A
He speaks in every conscience prompted word	A
Half utter'd half suppressed	A
'Tis him I sing Despair terrific name	O
Striking unsteadily the tremulous chord	A
Of timorous terror discord in the sound	A
For to a theme revolting as is this	P
Dare not I woo the maids of harmony	D
Who love to sit and catch the soothing sound	A
Of lyre AElig olian or the martial bugle	Q
Calling the hero to the field of glory	D
And firing him with deeds of high emprise	R
And warlike triumph but from scenes like mine	S
Shrink they affrighted and detest the bard	A
Who dares to sound the hollow tones of horror	F
	-
Hence then soft maids	T
And woo the silken zephyr in the bowers	U
By Heliconia's sleep inviting stream	V
For aid like yours I seek not 'tis for powers	U
Of darker hue to inspire a verse like mine	S
'Tis work for wizards sorcerers and fiends	W
	-
Hither ye furious imps of Acheron	S
Nurslings of hell and beings shunning light	A
And all the myriads of the burning concave	X
Souls of the damned Hither oh come and join	S
The infernal chorus 'Tis Despair I sing	Y
He whose sole tooth inflicts a deadlier pang	Z
Than all your tortures join'd Sing sing Despair	A2
Repeat the sound and celebrate his power	F
Unite shouts screams and agonizing shrieks	B2
Till the loud p an ring through hell's high vault	A
And the remotest spirits of the deep	C2
Leap from the lake and join the dreadful song	B
