O dead queen, O hidden other
Cynthia twice diminished
in darkness veiled
Let there be haunting presence
Let there be eerie calm
O still moon, sing mute
Still moon sings mute
Ghostly footsteps chime
on vanishing land, altars decay
Monuments stare at nothing
O heavenly impossibilities
Heavenly bodies be still
Unweeping angels stare
Goddess marble eyed
That in Carcosa slept
Dark circles drawn in dust
Music of Black Moon
For hearts at home in Hell
Earth-carcass cast aside
Godless marble eyes
In Gnostic indignation
