A Route Obscure lyrics

[Edgar Allan Poe - Dream-Land]
By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space, out of time.
 
By the mountains—near the river
Murmuring lowly, murmuring ever,
By the grey woods,—by the swamp
By each spot the most unholy—
In each nook most melancholy,—
There the traveller meets, aghast,
Sheeted Memories of the Past—
Shrouded forms that start and sigh
As they pass the wanderer by—
 
But the traveller, travelling through it,
May not—dare not openly view it;
Never its mysteries are exposed
To the weak human eye unclosed;
 
By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
I have wandered home but newly
From this ultimate dim Thule.
