"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 unshedShall dry and die in           Lost Carcosa."

Cassilda's Song in "The King in Yellow."
Act 1.Scene 2.
