Eyes did see
A castle as of Ice and sea
With silhouettes in pandemonium;
For the sea glass cannot hide,
But only reveal strange shapes
Like gaping ghosts
In one pitch black night;
With carriages hewn here and there
Like the deeds of an angry giant.

Ears did hear
The wail of whales
And the bangs of blows,
As the wind did howl
And from afar hooted an owl
Which be but an omen;
For the chairs did crash
As the waves did clash
And broken decanters adorned the tiles
As the guests moved on,
In a strange kind of dance.

Mouths did speak
As carts did creak
From tramples by frightened horses,
For from those sealed sills,
Where the least were on the list
Raged a great war
A feast of fists!
