Over and over and over again,
The man who was murder'd was Jack Devize,
And the man who murder'd him, Harry Vane!
I dream I am standing on purple heights,
Alone and alone for ever and aye;
The sun is shining with pitiless lights;
I pray that darkness may cover the sky.
I dream I am lying buried in sand,
Alone and alone for ever and aye;
Parch'd and dry is the terrible land;
