By a route obscure and lonely  Haunted by I'll angels only  Where an Eidolon name Night  On a black throne reigns upright  I have reached those lands but newly  From an ultimate dim Thule  From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime  Out of space, out of time    By the mountains, by the lakes, that thus outspread  The lone waters, lone  Lone waters, lone and dead  Lone and dead  The sad waters, sad and chilly  Murmuring ever  With the snows of the lolling lily  By the mountains near the river    With forms that no man can discover  For the tears that drip all over    By the grey woods, by the lakes, the new encamp  By the dismal tarns  By the dismal tarns and pools  Most unholy  There go the friends long given  To the Earth and Heaven  By a route so obscure and lonely  Haunted by I'll angels only    With forms that no man can discover  For the tears that drip all over    Seas that restlessly aspire  Surging unto sides of fire, unto skies of fire    With forms that no man can discover  For the tears that drip all over
