Now mark what follows: "Then I pacified Psyche and kissed her, And tempted her out of her gloom. And conquered her scruples and gloom. And we passed to the end of a Vista, But were stopped by the door of a Tomb. By the door of a Legended Tomb, And I said: 'What is written, sweet sister, On the door of this legended Tomb? She replied, Ulalume Ulalume Tis the vault of thy lost Ulalume!"
