class:chapter

  In the midnight heavens burning
   Through ethereal deeps afar,
  Once I watch'd with restless yearning
   An alluring, aureate star;
  Ev'ry eve aloft returning,
   Gleaming nigh the Arctic car.

  Mystic waves of beauty blended
   With the gorgeous golden rays;
  Phantasies of bliss descended
   In a myrrh'd Elysian haze;
  And in lyre-born chords extended
   Harmonies of Lydian lays.

  There (thought I) lie scenes of pleasure,
   Where the free and blessed dwell,
  And each moment bears a treasure,
   Freighted with the lotus-spell,
  And there floats a liquid measure
   From the lute of Israfel.

  There (I told myself) were shining
   Worlds of happiness unknown,
  Peace and Innocence entwining
   By the Crowned Virtue's throne;
  Men of light, their thoughts refining
   Purer, fairer, than our own.

  Thus I mus'd, when o'er the vision
   Crept a red delirious change;
  Hope dissolving to derision,
   Beauty to distortion strange;
  Hymnic chords in weird collision,
   Spectral sights in endless range.

  Crimson burn'd the star of sadness
   As behind the beams I peer'd;
  All was woe that seem'd but gladness
   Ere my gaze with truth was sear'd;
  Cacodaemons, mir'd with madness,
   Through the fever'd flick'ring leer'd.

  Now I know the fiendish fable
   That the golden glitter bore;
  Now I shun the spangled sable
   That I watch'd and lov'd before;
  But the horror, set and stable,
   Haunts my soul forevermore.
