Like a vulture after battle, when has ceased the dreadful rattle, Scents the summer air all tainted with the decomposing gore, Even thus did mighty Grover, like a carrion crow gloat over Widow's tears and wails of orphans; like a fiend he gloated o'er Widows of the fallen heroes, like a fiend he gloated o'er Let them beg from door to door.

Presently he fell to napping, ceased those eyes their snapping. And his neck of great dimension, upright held his head no more, With the lamplight o'er him streaming, fast asleep he soon was dreamino-Dreaming dreams no predecessor ever dared to dream before Dreams prophetic of the future, mortal never dreamed before, And shall dream, "Ah. nevermore. Far away he could see Heaven, future home to Christian given, See of Paradise the gateway, gateway to that shining shore-But a fence provoked his ire, rising higher, higher, higher, higher. Built of wooden legs and crutches that crippled veterans wore; Tiny had bfft them as they entered, entered in at heaven's door; Blocked his way forever more.

he shouted, "I will break it, from my pathway you shall take it! I am I can do not me show my power!" Then arose a laugh in Heaven, rainbow clouds were v-ell nigh riven ith the laughing of the Angels, as they shout "Ah, nevermore, Nevermore, immortal Grover, here your veto power is o'er You can veto nevermore." Then he saw a great throng coming, without music without drumming; Silent as a Monk's procession and a bier the leaders bore Nearer as their feet came rumbling, half aloud he fell to grumbling "Doubtless 'tis some pension pauper, for they seem all sad and sore-Not a dollar' not a 'penny' let them beg from door to door, Beggars! Ah. forever As the mighty throng drew nearer, and his dazzled eyes saw clearer. 'Twas'his brethern Democratic that this sable burden bore; And he wondered what the Devil meant this harbinger of evil. Meant this solemn, quaint procession, what the burden was they bore-Covered o'er with sable mantle that his friends and brethern bore Doubtless dead forever more. Tighter still the chair he clutches, for he saw a pair of crutches Crossed for handles neath th burden that the dark pall covered o'er; "By rnv patron saint when they cornea little nigher, I will snatch the sable mantle and will see this hidden lore-See what means this quaint procession mortal never saw before, And shall see Ah, nevermore." As he dreamed his soul grew stronger, hesitating then no longer; Straight he walked up to the cortege, placed himself the bier before.
