Golden Elegance
Once there was a way
to get back homeward.
Once there was a way
to get back home.
Sleep pretty darling,
do not cry
and I will sing a lullaby.
Golden slumbers fill your eyes.
Smiles awake you when you rise.
Sleep pretty darling; do not cry
and I will sing a lullaby.
Once there was a way
to get back homeward.
Once there was a way
to get back home.
Sleep pretty darling
do not cry,
and I will sing a lullaby.

The Dark Muse
"They are all of one mind, their hearts are set upon song and their spirit is free from care. He is happy whom the Muses love. For though a man has sorrow and grief in his soul, yet when the servant of the Muses sings, at once he forgets his dark thoughts and remembers not his troubles. Such is the holy gift of the Muses to men."

Nevermore, Nevermore
"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! — prophet still, if bird or devil! — Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate, yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted — On this home by Horror haunted — tell me truly, I implore — Is there — is there balm in Gilead? — tell me — tell me, I implore!"
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."
