The Complete Poetry of H. P. Lovecraft

I saw the lake’s dull water glow

Till sunken things appear’d below.

There shone unnumber’d fathoms down,

The tow’rs of a forgotten town;

The tarnish’d domes and mossy walls;

Weed-tangled spires and empty halls

But the horror, set and stable,

Haunts my soul for evermore

The modern world, with all it’s care & pain,
