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
