  Speaker 1: Oh, in the greenest of our valleys, by good angels tenanted.

  Speaker 1: Once a fair and stately palace, radiant palace reared its
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: head in a monarch thought's dominion. It stood there. Never
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: seraphs spread opinion over fabric half so fair banner's yellow, glorious,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: golden on its roof did flowed and flow. This all
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: this was in the olden time, long ago. And every
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: gentle air that dallied in that sweet day along the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: ramparts plumed in pallid the winged odor went away. Wanderers
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: in that happy valley through two luminous windows, saw spirits
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: moving musically to Elute's well tuned law. Round about a
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: throne ware sitting Porphyrogene in state his glory, well befitting
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the ruler of the realm was seen, And all with
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: pearl and ruby glowing was the fair palace door, through
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: which came flowing, flowing, flowing, and sparkling evermore. A troop
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of echoes whose sweet duty was but to sing in

  Speaker 1: voices of surpassing beauty, the wit and wisdom of their king.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: But evil things in robes of sorrow assail the monarch's

  Speaker 1: high estate. Ah let Us mourn, for never sorrow shall
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: dawn upon him desolately and round about his home. The
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: glory that blushed and bloomed is but a dim remembered
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: story of the old time, entombed, and travelers now within
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: that valley, through the red litten windows see vast forms
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that move fantastically to a discordant melody, while lie a
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: ghastly rapid river through the pale door a hideous throng.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Rush out forever and laugh, but smile no more.
