Lo! 'tis a gala night[00:00:20]

Within the lonesome latter years![00:00:24]

An angel throng, bewinged, bedight[00:00:29]

In veils, and drowned in tears,[00:00:34]

Sit in a theatre, to see[00:00:40]

A play of hopes and fears,[00:00:44]

While the orchestra breathes fitfully[00:00:50]

The music of the spheres.[00:00:56]

Mimes, in the form of God on high,[00:01:21]

Mutter and mumble low,[00:01:26]

And hither and thither fly -[00:01:31]

Mere puppets they, who come and go[00:01:36]

At bidding of vast formless things[00:01:41]

That shift the scenery to and fro,[00:01:45]

Flapping from out their Condor wings[00:01:51]

Invisible Woe![00:01:58]

That motley drama - oh, be sure[00:02:01]

It shall not be forgot![00:02:06]

With its Phantom chased for evermore,[00:02:10]

By a crowd that seize it not,[00:02:14]

Through a circle that ever returneth in[00:02:20]

To the self-same spot,[00:02:25]

And much of Madness, and more of Sin,[00:02:29]

And Horror the soul of the plot.[00:02:35]

And much of Madness, and more of Sin,[00:02:40]

And Horror the soul of the plot.[00:02:45]

But see, amid the mimic rout[00:03:11]

A crawling shape intrude![00:03:16]

A blood-red thing that writhes from out[00:03:21]

The scenic solitude![00:03:26]

It writhes! - it writhes! - with mortal pangs[00:03:31]

The mimes become its food,[00:03:35]

And seraphs sob at vermin fangs[00:03:40]

In human gore imbued.[00:03:45]

Out - out are the lights - out all![00:04:15]

And, over each quivering form,[00:04:19]

The curtain, a funeral pall,[00:04:24]

Comes down with the rush of a storm,[00:04:29]

While the angels, all pallid and wan,[00:04:34]

Uprising, unveiling, affirm[00:04:39]

That the play is the tragedy, "Man,"[00:04:43]

And its hero the Conqueror Worm.[00:04:48]
