Xanadu Lyrics
The golden shadowOf the pleasure domeFloated midway on the wavesOf the river Alph"In Xanadu did Kubla KhanA stately pleasure dome decree...Where Alph, the sacred river, ranDown to a sunless seaSo twiceFice miles of fertile ground with towers and wallswere girdled roundAnd here were gardens brightWith sinuous... rillsAnd here were forests, forests asancient as the hillsEnfolding sunny, spots of greenery"A mystic reign on the Asian coast was locatedA miracle of rare device...A sunny pleasure-dome was builtOver the winding enchanting icy cavesThe silence ruledamong the sacred landsOf XanaduFrom a raging dance of rocks,since the dawn of TimeIt flings up the holy turbid streamIn this ageless tumult, Kubla Khan heard fromFar Ancestral voices prophesying... war!A savage place!...a vision in a dream!And beyond wood and dale there wasAn endless abyss where the riverWould sank in turmoil to a lifeless oceanAlight by the shine ofA feeble waning moonLost in the sky...and still some whispers in the midnight breezeremind us again the beauty of Xanadu!
