Zelia Lyrics

No rays from the holy heaven come down

 on the long night time of that town

 

 But light from out the lurid sea

 streams up the turrets silently

 

 Gleams up the pinnacles far and free

 Gleams up the pinnacles far and free

 

 Up domes - up spires - up kingly halls

 Up fanes - up Babylon - like walls

 

 up shadowy long-forgotten bowers

 up sculptured ivy and stone flowers

 up shadowy long-forgotten bowers

 up sculptured ivy and stone flowers

 

 up many and many a marvellous shrine

 whose wreathed friezes interwine

 the viol, the violet and the vine

 the viol, the violet and the vine

 

 [Edgar Allan Poe]
