Cassilda’s Song

Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen

In Carcosa

Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies
But stranger still is

Lost Carcosa

Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in

Dim Carcosa

Song of my soul, my voice is dead,
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in

Lost Carcosa

– “Cassilda’s Song” The King in Yellow Act 1, Scene 2 – Robert W. Chambers
