There beyond the embrace of land

And out beyond the ocean's reach,

I saw a mighty city spanned

across they sky above a beach

that glimmers now with golden sand.

Of starlight then is formed each wall;

Each dome a moon, or so it seems;

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

And through each tower looming tall

A ray of bright sorcery gleams:

A pearl-white flame in every hall.

And yet the fog now dims their glow

and veils their splendours from afar

Like broken dreams, they are brought low

descending now from cloud and star,

where sinking hopes of daylight flow
