Explore "A Sunset Fancy" by Madison Cawein on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Wide in the west, a lake / Of flame that seems to shake / As if the Midgard snake / Deep down did breathe: / An isle of purple glow, / Where rosy rivers flow / Down peaks of cloudy snow / With fire beneath.
And there the Tower-of-Night, / With windows all a-light, / Frowns on a burning height; / Wherein she sleeps, -- / Young through the years of doom, -- / Veiled with her hair's gold gloom, / The pale Valkyrie whom / Enchantment keeps.
