[---very long instrumental introduction---]

[---First waltz-theme---]

...In Xanadu...

Did
Ku-
-bla Khan

A
Stately
Plea-sure

Dome
Once
De-cree

Where Alph The Sa-cred

Ri-
-ver
Once ran

Through caves measureless

Down
To
The sea

So twice five miles of

The
Fer-
-tile ground

With walls and tow-ers

Were
Gir-
-dled 'round

With gar-dens bright
With---
---Sin'ous rills!
And with in-cense bear-ing trees!

[---Second waltz-theme---]

And here forests were
Ancient as the hills

Enfolding---spots
Of green-er---y

Oh that deep ro-man-
-tic chasm did slant

Down the
Green hill
A-thwart of a cedary cov'ring!

Holy savage place!
As en-chanted as

Any place e'er
Was en-chanted

'neath a waning moon
By the wailing swoon

Of a
Wo-man
For
Her demon-lover's ra-vish-ing!

[---Third waltz-theme---]

With
Cease-
-less
Tur-
-moil
Seeth-----ing

As
If
This
Earth
Were
Breath-----ing

A
Might-
-y
Foun-
-tain
Flee-----
-tingly was forced to give
Swift intermit-tent bursts!

Huge
Frag-
-ments
Vaul-
-ted
Bound-----ing

Like
Hails
Of
Grain
Re-
-sound-----ing

Be-
-neath
The
Thresh-
-er's
Pound-----ing

And 'mid dancing rocks,
Once ever it did fling!

[---waltz instrumental interlude---]

[---Third waltz-theme again---]

Mo-
-ment-
-ly
Up
The
Ri-----ver

Five
Miles
Me-
-and-
-ered
Thi-----ther

Through
Wood
The
Sa-
-cred
Ri-----ver

Reached caverns and sank
In tumult in the sea!

[---Fourth waltz-theme---]

And 'mid
This
Tu-mult Kubla did hear

An-ces-
-tral
Voices prophesy fear

(The) Sha-
-dow
Of the dome of pleas-ure

Floa-ted
Mid-way
On waves

Where once
Was
Heard the mingled meas-ure

From in
The
Fountain and in the caves

A
Mir----a-cle
Of
Rare
De-vice

A
Plea-sure
Dome
Of
Ice

[---very long lilting waltz-instrumental interlude---]
[---LOUD DRUMBEAT---]
[---Fifth waltz-theme: Swinging-pendulum-rhythm---]

And-with-awe!
Once-I-saw!

Damsel-musician!
An Abyssinian!

On her dul-ci-mer
She'd ren-der
Songs of Mount A-bora --- I wish I could re-vive ---

With-in me,
Sym-phony,
Of her song's delight!
And oh such deep delight,

Would ev-er there be,
With-in me,
If e'er I'd re-vive all of her symphony's delight!

[---TRUMPET FANFARE---]
[---Sixth waltz-theme: Forceful-percussive-rhythm---]

[---trumpets---] AND-WITH-MUSIC-THAT-IS [---trumpets---]

LOUD - AND - STRONG!

I would build that

DOME - IN - AIR!

Oh that sunny

DOME - WITH - CAVES!

MADE - OF - ICE!

And-all-who-heard-should-see-them-there!

FLASH - ING - EYES!

And awe-some-ly

FLOAT - ING - HAIR!

Weave a circle

'ROUND - HIM - THRICE!

And-close-your-eyes-with-holy-dread-there!

[---lilting waltz instrumental interlude---]

[---Third waltz-theme again---]

A
Cir-
-cle
Weave
'round
Him-----thrice!

Close
Your
Eyes
With
Ho-ly-----dread!

He
On
Hon-
-ey
Dew
Hath-----fed,

And drunk the heav-en-ly milk-of-Paradise!
