Into the Starry Abyss
Galloping into the starry abyss!
Holding Lenore, whom I lavishly kiss!
Racing in gusto to Hades beyond!
Waving my sword like a wand!
Blasphemous fever in endless degree,
Galloping on with a boundless esprit,
Hoofs in a rhythm exaltant and loud,
Leaping triumphantly proud.
Over the wall and the gate of the farm,
Wailing in wanton and wicked alarm,
Teeth in defiance, so gleefully bared,
Under the starfire flared!
Dashing exultantly, jumping in force,
Over the thicket and countryside course,
Lenore is my queen and I’ll wed her unseen,
Under the heavens pristine!
