¶Lyrics / 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!
