English text
- 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!
