The Last Night I dreamed a dream: I stood upon a height, 1 A mountain's utmost eminence of snow, 2 Whence I beheld the plain outstretched below 3 To a far sea-horizon, dim and white. 4 Beneath the sun's expiring, ghastly light, 5 The dead world lay, phantasmally aglow; 6 Its last fear-weighted voice, a wind, came low; 7 The distant sea lay hushed, as with affright. 8 I watched, and lo! the pale and flickering sun, 9 In agony and fierce despair, flamed high, 10 And shadow-slain, went out upon the gloom. 11 Then Night, that grim, gigantic struggle won, 12 Impended for a breath on wings of doom, 13 And through the air fell like a falling sky. 14 The Last Night By: Clark Ashton Smith Checking for Understanding
