agitation free - haunted island lyrics

by a route obscure and lonely,
haunted by i’ll angels only,
where an eidolon, named night,
on a black throne reigns upright,
i have reached these lands but newly
from an ultimate dim thule-
from a wild clime that lieth, sublime,
out of sp-ce- out of time.

bottomless vales and boundless floods,
and chasms, and caves, and t-tan woods,
with forms that no man can discover
for the tears that drip all over;
mountains toppling evermore
into seas without a sh-r-;
seas that restlessly aspire,
surging, unto skies of fire;
lakes that endlessly outspread
their lone waters- lone and dead, –
their still waters- still and chilly
with the snows of the lolling lily.

by the lakes that thus outspread
their lone waters, lone and dead, –
their sad waters, sad and chilly
with the snows of the lolling lily, –
by the mountains- near the river
murmuring lowly, murmuring ever, –
by the grey woods, – by the swamp
where the toad and the newt encamp-
by the dismal tarns and pools
where dwell the ghouls, –
by each spot the most unholy-
in each nook most melancholy-
there the traveller meets aghast
sheeted memories of the past-
shrouded forms that start and sigh
as they p-ss the wanderer by-
white-robed forms of friends long given,
in agony, to the earth- and heaven.

for the heart whose woes are legion
’tis a peaceful, soothing region-
for the spirit that walks in shadow
’tis- oh, ’tis an eldorado!
but the traveller, travelling through it,
may not- dare not openly view it!
never it’s mysteries are exposed
to the weak human eye unclosed;
so wills it’s king, who hath forbid
the uplifting of the fringed lid;
and thus the sad soul that here p-sses
beholds it but through darkened gl-sses.

by a route obscure and lonely,
haunted by i’ll angels only,
where an eidolon, named night,
on a black throne reigns upright,
i have wandered home but newly
from this ultimate dim thule.
