THE HAUNTED PALACE.

BY Edgar Allen Poe
In the greenest of our valleys
BY good angels tenanted
Once a fair and stately palace
Radiant palace-reared its head
In the monarch Thoughts dominion,
1t stood there;
Never seraph spread pinion
Over fabric half SO fair.
Banners yellow, glorious, golden,
On it's roof did float and now
(This-all this-was in the olden
Time long ago., -.
And every gentle air that dallied,
In that sweet day,
Along the ramparts plumed and patiio.
A winged odor went away
Wanderers in the happy valley
Through two luminous windows saw
Spirits moving unsteady
To lute's well-tun-ed law,
Round about a throne where. sitting,
Porphyrogene,
In state his glory we'll bentting.
The ruler of the realm was seen.
And all with pearl and ruby glowing
Was the fair palace door,
Through which came flowing, flowing.
flowing,
And sparkling evermore.
A troop of Echoes, whose sweet duty
Was but to sing,
In voices of surprising beauty,
The wit and wisdom of their king
But evil things in robes of sorrow,
Assailed the monarchs high estate;
(Ah let us mourn for never morrow
Shall dawn upon him desolateD
And round about his home the glory
That blushed and bloomed,
Is but aforementioned story
OF the old time entombed.
And travellers now within that valley
Through the red-litten windows sec
Vast forms that move Enthusiastically
To a discordant melody:
While like a CHASTITY rapid river
Through the pale door
Ahideous throng rush out forever.
And laukh-but arniie no mora

DAWN.
It's sweet to hear the lush bird songs
When day begins to break
And lazy mortals still in bed
Are not yet wide awake
It's joy to breathe the crisp, fresh air
And smell the flowers, too.
That bow their heads to Hesperus
And drink refreshing dew.
How rare the flaming hues that shoot
Athwart the changing sky,
As bold Apollo in the east
Mounts upward, full and hight
With shafts of purple. blue and gold
He conquers skulking night
And driving swiftly in his car,
Battles all below in light.
In wood and field. in city blocks,
Along the idle stream
The hosts of Gods created things
Rise up and cease to dream.
A food of melody breaks forth
The Tilt of happy hearts,
While all the busy world moves on
In traffie-crowded marts.
The roar OF manufactures,
The beat Of human toll
Is added to the cricket's chirp
That rises from the soil.
Men say the old world wakes this way
In truth, do not know,
For ! don't rise till 10 o'clock,
And then I'm rather slow.
