MANAHEM, rushing out. / Away from this Palace of sin! / The demons, the terrible powers / Of the air, that haunt its towers / And hide in its water-spouts, / Deafen me with the din / Of their laughter and their shouts / For the crimes that are done within! / Sink back into the earth, / Or vanish into the air, / Thou castle of despair! / Let it all be but a dream / Of the things of monstrous birth, / Of the things that only seem! / White Angel of the Moon, / Onafiel! be my guide / Out of this hateful place / Of sin and death, nor hide / In you black cloud too soon / Thy pale and tranquil face!
A trumpet is blown from the walls.
