I had a dream, which was not all a dream
The bright sun was extinguished
Did wander darkling in the eternal space
The icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air
All hearts were chilled, into a selfish prayer for light
And the thrones, the palaces of crowned kings
Were burnt for beacons, cities were consumed
A fearful hope was all the world contained
Extinguished with a crash
The pall of the past world
Rayless and pathless
The moon, their mistress, had expired before
The winds were withered in the stagnant air
Darkness had no need of aid from them
She was the universe
Dread of this their desolation
The pall of the past world
Cities were consumed
A fearful hope, was all the world contained
Extinguished with a crash
The pall of the past world
Dread
Rayless and pathless
I had a dream, which was not all a dream
