There's city thar lies In tas kingdom
of Clouds,
In the glorious country on high.
which an azure and silvery curtain en-
shrouds,
To screen il from mortal eye;
A city Of temples and turrets of gold,
That CLEAN by sapphire sea.
Like jewels more splendid than earth may
behold.
Or are dreamed of by you and by me.
And about it are highlands of amber that
reach
Far away till they meet in the glOam !;
And waters that hem an Immaculate
beach
With fringes Of luminous foam
Aerial bridges Of foam there are.
And belfries Of marvellous shapes.
And lighthouses lit BY the evening star.
That sparkle on violet capes;
And hanging gardens that far away
Enchantedly float aloOf;
Rainbow pavilions in avenues gay.
And banners Of glorious woOf.
When the summer sunsets crimsOning
fires
Are aglow in the western sky.
The pilgrim discovers the domes and
spires
OF this wonderful city on high:
And gazing enrapt as the gathering shade
Creeps over the twilight lea,
Sees palace and pinnacle totter and fade.
And sink in the sapphire, sea.
Till the vision loses by slow degrees
The magical splendor il wore:
