I

<br>
In the cave which wild weeds cover
<br>
Wait for thine aethereal lover;
<br>
For the pallid moon is waning,
<br>
O'er the spiral cypress hanging
<br>
And the moon no cloud is staining.
<br>
<br>

II

<br>
It was once a Roman's chamber,
<br>
Where he kept his darkest revels.
<br>
And the wild weeds twine and clamber;
<br>
It was then a chasm for devils.
