The spirits of the dead, so evil and desolate

Beyond the ancient unholy wonted, haunts of all mortal men

From the waters of doom draws, the fatal curse of pestilence

Beheld in a pale night, moonbeams flow through the darkness

Beneath beams unfold, never told by anyone

Too old for human sight, lies sunken in the endless night

In those depths there I only pace, in a form of a sweet child

By the shadows of a voiceless race, extinted by the human kind

Into the forest at night, is cast a magic spell

The evil one and the damned souls, now watch through the gates of hell

While in the lurid sky, the gibbous moon glow’d and flows

Call ravens and vultures, by the smell of putrefying corpses

So the dreadful moon, climbed up the sky so high

Frightening the stars, from outer darken sky

The lake’s dull water glow in blood

Till sunken things appeared from the mood

There shone fathomless ghosts

Once living creatures, now, damned souls

Shades of the upper space block the moon’s face

Then sank the empty eyes in the dreaming lake of death

A timeless lake of old like the desperate mourn

The infinitywaters that sink for now and for evermore
