The Cloud‑Capp’d Towers
A voice calls high up in the tower: “Awake, you city of Jerusalem!”
Choral-scape of recurring themes,
Entwining into waking dreams.
Again-and-again yet ever change,
Transforming into something rich and strange.
The sun rises, the sun sets,
Sounds and sights. Wedding rites.
Singers chanting an “alleluia” spell,
Hark! now I hear them, —ding-dong, bell.
Entwining into waking dreams.

Transforming into something rich and strange.
The sun rises, the sun sets,
Sounds and sights. Wedding rites.
Singers chanting an “alleluia” spell,
Hark! now I hear them, —ding-dong, bell.
