At midnight, in the month of June, I stand beneath the mystic moon. An opiate vapor, dewy, dim, Exhales from out her golden rim, And softly dripping, drop by drop, Upon the quiet mountain top, Steals drowsily and musically Into the universal valley. The rosemary nods upon the grave; The lily lolls upon the wave; Wrapping the fog about its breast, The ruin moulders into rest; Looking like Lethe, see! the lake A conscious slumber seems to take, And would not, for the world, awake. All Beauty sleeps!โand lo! where lies Irene, with her Destinies! Oh, lady bright! can it be rightโ This window open to the night? The wanton airs, from the tree-top, Laughingly through the lattic...
At midnight, in the month of June,
I stand beneath the mystic moon.
An opiate vapor, dewy, dim,
Exhales from out her golden rim,
And softly dripping, drop by drop,
Upon the quiet mountain top,
Steals drowsily and musically
Into the universal valley.
The rosemary nods upon the grave;
The lily lolls upon the wave;
Wrapping the fog about its breast,
The ruin moulders into rest;
Looking like Lethe, see! the lake
A conscious slumber seems to take,
And would not, for the world, awake.
All Beauty sleeps!โand lo! where lies
Irene, with her Destinies!
Oh, lady bright! can it be rightโ
This window open to the night?
The wanton airs, from the tree-top,
Laughingly through the lattic...
@ink_kink thank you! I love some of Edgar Allan Poes poems but I have never read this before so this is a first, it was kinda difficult to find the meaning but i think I figured it out ๐
