Text: The Sleeper, by Edgar Allan Poe
At midnight, in the month of June, I stand beneath the mystic moon.
An opiate vapor, dewy, dim, Exhales from out her golden rim,
And softly dripping, drop by drop,
Upon the quiet mountain top,
Steals drowsily and musically Into the universal valley.
The rosemary nods upon the grave;
The lily lolls upon the wave.
At midnight, in the month of June, I stand beneath the mystic moon.
An opiate vapor, dewy, dim, Exhales from out her golden rim,
And softly dripping, drop by drop,
Upon the quiet mountain top,
Steals drowsily and musically Into the universal valley.
The rosemary nods upon the grave;
The lily lolls upon the wave.
