Thou spirit of the spangled nightA
I woo thee from the watchtower highB
Where thou dost sit to guide the barkC
Of lonely marinerD
-
The winds are whistling o'er the woldsE
The distant main is moaning lowF
Come let us sit and weave a songG
A melancholy songG
-
Sweet is the scented gale of mornH
And sweet the noontide's fervid beamI
But sweeter far the solemn calmJ
That marks thy mournful reignK
-
I've pass'd here many a lonely yearL
And never human voice have heardM
I've pass'd here many a lonely yearL
A solitary manN
-
And I have linger'd in the shadeO
From sultry noon's hot beams and IB
Have knelt before my wicker doorP
To sing my evening songG
-
And I have hail'd the gray morn highB
On the blue mountain's misty browQ
And tried to tune my little reedR
To hymns of harmonyS
-
But never could I tune my reedR
At morn or noon or eve so sweetT
As when upon the ocean shoreP
I hail'd thy star beam mildU
-
The dayspring brings not joy to meS
The moon it whispers not of peaceE
But oh when darkness robes the heavensE
My woes are mix'd with joyV
-
And then I talk and often thinkW
A euml rial voices answer meS
And oh I am not then aloneX
A solitary manN
-
And when the blustering winter windsE
Howl in the woods that clothe my caveY
I lay me on my lonely matZ
And pleasant are my dreamsE
-
And fancy gives me back my wifeA2
And fancy gives me back my childU
She gives me back my little homeB2
And all its placid joysE
-
Then hateful is the morning hourD
That calls me from the dream of blissE
To find myself still lone and hearC2
The same dull sounds againD2
-
The deep toned winds the moaning seaS
The whispering of the boding treesE
The brook's eternal flow and oftE2
The condor's hollow screamI
