I, midst their chiming and flowing, Found the lost key to my fate : Oh ! anguish, shaped out of knowing, When knowledge cometh too late ! Led by those little white fingers, Backward I 'm borne to that shore Where the dark waters are breaking Of the wild sea NEVERMORE. 'Gainst my sad heart they are beating, With their spray are mine e}'es wet Hear them repeating, repeating, All that I never forget ! 100 BY THE BIRD-CAGE. Once more I 'm dreamily bending Over some intricate page ; Sweetly a young ...voice is mingled With thine, O bird in the cage ! I see the mystical pages Swept by a maiden's bright curl ; I read the lore of the sages, Read not the heart of a girl ! Curtains of white lace are swa}'ing, Wanders the wind up and down ; She by a window is sewing, In the old French part of town ; Beams of the sunlight are golden, Pomegranate blossoms burn red ; Dusky braids, many times folden, Crowning the young Creole head. Up from the gardens below us Odors of orange-buds creep ; Softly the winds from the river Over the balcony sweep ; Pigeons are dreamily cooing On the tiled roof o'er the way ; Pauses the little hand, sewing, Over the volume to stray, BY THE BIRD-CAGE.
