Chain’d in the flames of hell;

I would abide, unterrified,

More than a man shall tell.”

The moon is pale, the night winds wail,

Weird whispers fill the night:

“Dear heart, what word was that I heard

Ring out in the moonlight?”

’Twas but the blast that hurried past,

Shrieking among the pines:

The souls that wail upon the gale,
