I call it "The City in the Sea".
Lo! Death has reared himself a throne
In a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim West
Where the good and the bad And the worst and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest
No rays from the holy Heaven come down
On the long nighttime of that town
But light from out the lurid sea
Streams up the turrets silently
Up domes, up spires, up kingly halls
Up fanes, up Babylon-like walls
Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers
Of sculptured ivory and stone flowers
Resignedly beneath the sky The melancholy waters lie
Ah.
But lo, a stir is in the air!
The wave, there is a movement there!
The waves have now a redder glow
The hours are breathing, faint and low
And when, amid no earthly moans
Down, down that town shall settle hence
Hell rising from a thousand thrones
Shall do it reverence
