[00:18.13]"O soft embalmer of ye still midnight,
[00:26.95]Allow me thee to adown,
[00:34.82]Of any sort thou fancieth;
[00:42.43]Each holdeth its own fancy, I say -
[00:52.71]Yet the pleasure we partake in
[01:00.72]Was caus'd by the fang'd grin,
[01:10.34]Save!, do I for him anger hold?
[01:18.56]Nay - I knew I was fey!"
[01:27.53]"Had I what it taketh I would do;
[01:37.44]I sense - I cannot sense,
[01:46.04]I am - yet! I am not -
[01:53.91]Once I kiss'd the image
[01:57.18]Of the Seven Angels of Death..."
[02:02.49]"Yet as thou so didst,
[02:11.33]On my lips a kiss landéd,
[02:19.04]And with the shadows blendéd
[02:27.31]The tendermost silken mourn;
[02:38.86]In which the light hidden is -
[02:52.89]Yon Hell's brazen doors
[02:56.96]Wrothfully it trieth to push."
[03:09.77]"Then, lo! the Black Death,
[03:17.53]Serpent-like 'twixt the breasts crept;
[03:25.24]Hush'd with a gasp of life's breath,
[03:31.07]Together red tears they wept,  - in vain,
[03:40.87]And pass'd the procession of dancers dead -
[03:48.90]As in darkness were we lock'd in wed."
[03:59.00]I kiss'd the Seven Angels of Death."
[04:06.80]"And Hell open'd its doors,
[04:12.63]Yet what was 'fore my eyes
[04:16.81][04:23.00]But if not the brightest light."
