' Attend ! ' he cries , ' no more lament my doom , Nor waft your sorrows o ' er the midnight gloom ; No more arraign the justice of my fate , Nor with bland sadness mourn my blissful state .

And scented perfumes float upon the wind : The weeping Sisters move around the tomb , Then bend their silent steps through the returning gloom ..
