Along the shore the cloud waves break
The twin suns sink behind the lake
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.
Strange is the night where black stars rise
And strange moons circle through the skies
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.
Songs that the Hyades shall sing
Where flap the tatters of the King
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.
Song of my soul my voice is dead;
Die thou unsung as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa.
