:Shimmering in a tender mist
::That the slanting rays had kissed
:That the slanting rays had kissed
::Ere they left their latest fire
:Ere they left their latest fire
::Touch with gold each slender spire.
:Touch with gold each slender spire.

:With the seaweed twisted round,
::In the shining sand below
:In the shining sand below
::See the city downward go !

While the sun was going down,
There arose a fairy town.
Not the town I saw by day,
Cheerless, joyless, dull and gray,
But a far, fantastic place,
Builded with ethereal grace,
Shimmering in a tender mist
That the slanting rays had kissed
Ere they left their latest fire
Touch with gold each slender spire.
There no men and women be;
Mermen, maidens of the sea,
Combing out their tangled locks,
Sit and sing amound the rocks.
As their ruddy harps they sound
With the seaweed twisted round,
In the shining sand below
See the city downward go!
