GW2: The City in the Sea – Verse 4 (and Final)

But lo,

039a - But Lo

a stir is in the air!

039b - Stir in the Air
The wave — there is a movement there!

040 - Wave Movement
As if the towers

041a - As If Towers

had thrust aside,

041b - Thrust Aside
In slightly sinking, the dull tide —

042 - Dull Tide
As if their tops had feebly given

043 - Their Tops Feebly Given
A void within

044a - A Void

the filmy Heaven.

044b - Filmy Heaven
The waves have now

045a - The Waves Have Now

a redder glow —

045b - A Redder Glow
The hours are breathing faint and low —

046 -Hours Breathing
And when, amid no earthly moans,

047 - No Earthly Moans
Down, down that town shall settle hence,

048 - Down Down
Hell, rising from a thousand thrones,

049 -Hell Rising
Shall do it reverence.

050 -Reverence

— The City in the Sea, Fourth and Last Stanza

Edgar Allan Poe

Because Orr is Orr-some.

And Poe is da Poe-t.

P.S. If you’re reading this in a reader which doesn’t show the Featured Image of each post, do check them out if you liked what you saw. Those were my last four chances to put in what looked great to me but didn’t quite fit the poem.
