It was golden and splendid,                          
That City of light;                              
A vision suspended                              
In deeps of the night;                            
A region of wonder and glory, whose temples were marble and white.      
                                      
I remember the season                              
It dawn'd on my gaze;                            
The mad time of unreason,                            
The brain-numbing days                            
When Winter, white-sheeted and ghastly, stalks onward to torture and craze.  
                                      
More lovely than Zion                              
It shone in the sky                              
When the beams of Orion                            
Beclouded my eye,                              
Bringing sleep that was filled with dim mem'ries of moments obscure and gone by.
                                      
Its mansions were stately,                          
With carvings made fair,                          
Each rising sedately                              
On terraces rare,                              
And the gardens were fragrant and bright with strange miracles blossoming there.
                                      
The avenues lur'd me                              
With vistas sublime;                            
Tall arches assur'd me                            
That once on a time                              
I had wander'd in rapture beneath them, and bask'd in the Halcyon clime.    
                                      
On the plazas were standing                          
A sculptur'd array;                              
Long bearded, commanding,                            
rave men in their day—                            
But one stood dismantled and broken, its bearded face battered away.      
                                      
In that city effulgent                            
No mortal I saw,                              
But my fancy, indulgent                            
To memory's law,                              
Linger'd long on the forms in the plazas, and eyed their stone features with  
awe.                                      
                                      
I fann'd the faint ember                            
That glow'd in my mind,                            
And strove to remember                            
The aeons behind;                              
To rove thro' infinity freely, and visit the past unconfin'd.          
                                      
Then the horrible warning                            
Upon my soul sped                              
Like the ominous morning                            
That rises in red,                              
And in panic I flew from the knowledge of terrors forgotten and dead.
