| “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 in “The King in Yellow,” Act i, Scene 2.
