say on,where is our bridal hall?
where,how the nupital bower?
far,far from her!still,cool,and small,where storms do never lower.
hast room for me""for me and thee.
come up and dress and mount with me!
the wedding guests are waiting no more of this debating!"
in somber gloom we near the tomb with song and wailing tearful!
come,open stands the bridal room.
through all around look fearful.
come sexton,quick!come with the choir,
our bridal song with reed and lyre! come, priest, and say the blessing,
nor wait for our confessing.
high reared the steed and wildly neighed, fire from his nostrils started.
and lo!from underneath the maid the earth to 'dmit them parted.
