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
it stood there!
Never seraph spread a pinion
over fabric half so fair.
#
Banners yellow, glorious, golden,
On its roof did float and flow
(This, all this, was in the old time long ago);
And every gentle air that dallied
in that sweet day,
Along the ramparts plumed and pallid,
A winged odor went away.
#
Wanders in that happy valley.
Through two luminous window, saw
spirits moving musically,
To a lute's well-tuned law,
Round about a throne where, sitting
(Porphyrogene!)
In state his glory well befitting,
The ruler of the realm was seen.

ReplyDeleteThis was a very good read and I'll admit that it was quite Edgar Allan Poeish as well. Wonderful job! Blessings!
