Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDD EFEFGHGHH DID JKJK HLMYes all is past swift time has fled away | A |
Yet its swell pauses on my sickening mind | B |
How long will horror nerve this frame of clay | A |
I m dead and lingers yet my soul behind | B |
Oh powerful Fate revoke thy deadly spell | C |
And yet that may not ever ever be | D |
Heaven will not smile upon the work of Hell | C |
Ah no for Heaven cannot smile on me | D |
Fate envious Fate has sealed my wayward destiny | D |
- | |
I sought the cold brink of the midnight surge | E |
I sighed beneath its wave to hide my woes | F |
The rising tempest sung a funeral dirge | E |
And on the blast a frightful yell arose | F |
Wild flew the meteors o'er the maddened main | G |
Wilder did grief athwart my bosom glare | H |
Stilled was the unearthly howling and a strain | G |
Swelled mid the tumult of the battling air | H |
'Twas like a spirit's song but yet more soft and fair | H |
- | |
I met a maniac like he was to me | D |
I said 'Poor victim wherefore dost thou roam | I |
And canst thou not contend with agony | D |
That thus at midnight thou dost quit thine home ' | - |
'Ah there she sleeps cold is her bloodless form | J |
And I will go to slumber in her grave | K |
And then our ghosts whilst raves the maddened storm | J |
Will sweep at midnight o er the wildered wave | K |
Wilt thou our lowly beds with tears of pity lave ' | - |
- | |
'Ah no I cannot shed the pitying tear | H |
This breast is cold this heart can feel no more | L |
But I can rest me on thy chilling bier | M |
Can shriek in horror to the tempest's roar ' | - |
