And through the galleries far aloof!

No earthly flame blazed e'er so bright:

It shone like heaven's own blessed light,

And, issuing from the tomb,

Show'd the Monk's cowl, and visage pale,

Danced on the dark-brow'd Warrior's mail,

And kiss'd his waving plume.

Before their eyes the Wizard lay,

As if he had not been dead a day.

His hoary beard in silver roll'd.
