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;
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.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
