The Sundial - Dreamland lyrics

[Verse 1:] Bottomless vales and boundless floods And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods With forms that no man can discover For the tears that drip all over; Mountains toppling evermore Into seas without a shore; Seas that restlessly aspire Surging, unto skies of fire; Lakes that endlessly outspread Their lone waters - lone and dead Their still waters - still and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily Lakes that endlessly outspread Their lone waters - lone and dead Their still waters - still and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily Dreamland (dreamland) Dreamland (dreamland) [Chorus:] By the lakes that thus outspread Their lone waters, lone and dead Their sad waters, sad and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily By the mountains near the river Murmuring lowly, murmuring ever By the grey woods, by the swamp Where the toad and the newt encamp By a route obscure and lonely Haunted by ill angels only Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT On a black throne reigns upright I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule From a wild clime that lieth, sublime Out of SPACE, out of TIME [Verse 2:] By each spot the most unholy In each nook most melancholy There the traveller meets aghast Sheeted Memories of the Past Shrouded forms that start and sigh As they pa** the wanderer by White-robed forms of friends long given In agony, to the Earth and Heaven Heaven Heaven Dreamland (dreamland) Dreamland (dreamland) [Chorus:] By the lakes that thus outspread Their lone waters, lone and dead Their sad waters, sad and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily By the mountains near the river Murmuring lowly, murmuring ever By the grey woods, by the swamp Where the toad and the newt encamp By a route obscure and lonely Haunted by ill angels only Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT On a black throne reigns upright I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule From a wild clime that lieth, sublime Out of SPACE, out of TIME For the heart whose woes are legion 'Tis a peaceful, soothing region For the spirit that walks in shadow 'Tis- oh, 'tis an Eldorado! But the traveller, travelling through it May not dare not openly view it! Never its mysteries are exposed To the weak human eye unclosed [Talk:] So wills its King, who hath forbid The uplifting of the fringed lid; And thus the sad Soul that here pa**es Beholds it but through darkened gla**es
