thro’ the ghoul-guarded gateways of slumber
past the wan-moon’d abysses of night
i have liv’d o’er my lives without number
i have sounded all things with my sight;
and i struggle and shriek ere the daybreak, being driven to madness with fright

i have whirl’d with the earth at the dawning
when the sky was a vaporous flame;
i have seen the dark universe yawning
where the black planets roll without aim;
where they roll in their horror unheeded, without knowledge or l-stre or name

i had drifted o’er seas without ending
under sinister grey-clouded skies
that the many-fork’d lightning is rending
that resound with hysterical cries;
with the moans of invisible daemons that out of the green waters rise

i have plung’d like a deer thro’ the arches
of the h–ry primoridal grove
where the oaks feel the presence that marches
and stalks on where no spirit dares rove;
and i flee from a thing that surrounds me, and leers thro’ dead branches above

i have stumbled by cave-ridden mountains
that rise barren and bleak from the plain
i have drunk of the fog-foetid fountains
that ooze down to the marsh and the main;
and in hot cursed tarns i have seen things i care not to gaze on again

i have scann’d the vast ivy-clad palace
i have trod its untenanted hall
where the moon writhing up from the valleys
shews the tapestried things on the wall;
strange figures discordantly woven, which i cannot endure to recall

i have peer’d from the cas-m-nt in wonder
at the mouldering meadows around
at the many-roof’d village laid under
the curse of a grave-girdled ground;
and from rows of white urn-carven marble
i listen intently for sound

i have haunted the tombs of the ages
i have flown on the pinions of fear
where the smoke-belching erebus rages
where the jokulls loom snow-clad and drear:
and in realms where the sun of the desert
consumes what it never can cheer

i was old when the pharaohs first mounted
the jewel-deck’d throne by the nile;
i was old in those epochs uncounted
when i, and i only, was vile;
and man, yet untainted and happy
dwelt in bliss on the far arctic isle
