Verse 1 –
There’s a pallid bust of Pallas
perched above my chamber door.
There’s a lantern lighting malice;
the body cold under the floor.
There’s a cat within the crevice
awaiting richer Earth to till.
There’s my sordid soul smiling
from its perch upon the sill.
Chorus –
Once upon a
midnight dreary;
Once upon a
winter’s morn.
The casket’s closed
and eyes are weary;
Make your toast
and sail the storm.
Verse 2 –
There’s a pallid, busted palace
perched atop an English moor.
There’s wine, run from the chalice;
the masker’s monocle by the door.
There’s a blackbird beguiling;
speaking of Iliad undone.
There’s a jingling jester smiling,
though he’ll never see the sun.
Chorus –
Once upon a
midnight dreary;
Once upon a
winter’s morn.
The casket’s closed
and eyes are weary;
Make your toast
and sail the storm.
