A minorAm C majorC E minorEm
"O soft embalmer of ye still midnight,
A minorAm C majorC E minorEm G+G
Allow me thee to adown,
A minorAm C majorC E minorEm
Of any sort thou fancieth;
A minorAm C majorC E minorEm G+G
Each holdeth its own fancy, I say -
A minorAm C majorC E minorEm G+G
Yet the pleasure we partake in
A minorAm C majorC E minorEm G+G
Was caus'd by the fang'd grin,
A minorAm C majorC E minorEm G+G
Save!, do I for him anger hold?
A minorAm C majorC E minorEm G+G
Nay - I knew I was fey!"
A minorAm C majorC E minorEm
"Had I what it taketh I would do;
A minorAm C majorC E minorEm G+G
I sense - I cannot sense,
A minorAm C majorC E minorEm
I am - yet! I am not -
A minorAm C majorC
Once I kiss'd the image
E minorEm G+G
Of the Seven Angels of Death..."
A minorAm C majorC E minorEm G+G
"Yet as thou so didst,
A minorAm C majorC E minorEm
On my lips a kiss landéd,
G+G A minorAm C majorC E minorEm
And with the shadows blendéd
G+G A minorAm E minorEm G+G
The tendermost silken mourn;
G minorGm
Eb MajorEb C minorCm Bb majorBb G minorGm Eb MajorEb C minorCm Bb majorBb
In which the light hidden is -
G minorGm Eb MajorEb
Yon Hell's brazen doors
C minorCm Bb majorBb G minorGm Eb MajorEb C minorCm Bb majorBb
Wrothfully it trieth to push."
G minorGm
Eb MajorEb C minorCm Bb majorBb
"Then, lo! the Black Death,
G minorGm Eb MajorEb C minorCm Bb majorBb
Serpent-like 'twixt the breasts crept;
G minorGm Eb MajorEb C minorCm
Hush'd with a gasp of life's breath,
Bb majorBb G minorGm Eb MajorEb C minorCm Bb majorBb
Together red tears we wept - in vain,
G minorGm Eb MajorEb C minorCm Bb majorBb
And pass'd the procession of dancers dead -
G minorGm Eb MajorEb C minorCm Bb majorBb
As in darkness were we lock'd in wed."
G minorGm
Eb MajorEb C minorCm Bb majorBb G minorGm
I kiss'd the Seven Angels of Death."
Eb MajorEb C minorCm Bb majorBb
"And Hell open'd its doors,
G minorGm Eb MajorEb
Yet what was 'fore my eyes
C minorCm Bb majorBb G minorGm
But if not the brightest light."
Eb MajorEb C minorCm Bb majorBb DmDm
"But if not, but if not the brightest light."
