Once it was full of wonders, <br>once it was full of people and temples, drowned now<br> under the deep waves.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Drowned, she lies, lost under the ocean's broad reach; <br>once a queen, now draped in a corpse's wound sheet, <br>fair Atlantis lay as a pearl above all pearls, <br> above all known lands.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Once an empress over all lands, she lies drowned; <br>deep beneath the ocean she lies, she lies low<br>under endless waves while the years and the ages<br> pass like a swift wind.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">No-one comes to comfort her, ease her sorrow.<br>All her friends have left her alone in sorrow, <br>all the lands have dealt with her treacherously, <br>left her unmourned, lorn.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Fair Atlantis lies in the ocean's deep breast<br>while the nations come no more, under dyed sails, <br>bring no gifts of gold or else costly cargoes<br> under the dyed sails.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">All her temples lie in the ocean's deep breast, <br>all her festivals and sacred statues, <br>all her sacred slaves and her holy virgins<br> lie in its deep breast.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">All her sacred groves, and her many fair fields<br>lie beneath the ocean; and all her cities<br>lie beneath the waves that ye caused to rise up, <br> drown it in one day.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">All her enemies have become as great kings, <br>saying: 'Fair Atlantis is lost for all time, <br>let us rule the Earth while she lies destroyed, dead<br> under the deep waves.'</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Fair Atlantis calls to her former fair friends: <br>'High I raised you, gave you the gifts of great lore, <br>yet you all exult in my sudden downfall, <br> strut like a vain cock.'</div><div style="margin:10px 0">How the countries envy her glories, lost now<br>while beneath the ocean she lies, forlorn, lost, <br>when her people lived as do heroes god-blessed, <br> basking in glory.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">When her people fell to the ocean waves, <br>how the countries mocked at her fall to harsh fate, <br>how the countries mocked at her, lost to deep waves<br> rolling above her.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Is her fate naught to the mighty nations? <br>Fair she rose and ruled, but now desolate, drowned<br>deep beneath waves, fallen from pride that whelms all, <br> which will befall them.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">For my land, I weep with my bitter, bleak eyes, <br>for my birthplace, lost for all time, and drowned now.<br>Nothing heals my heart in its endless sorrow, <br> mourning my lost land.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">See: her enemies have prevailed, are puffed proud; <br>see: her children wander the world, are scattered<br>over many lands, for her enemies rule<br> over all known lands.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Let the lands' pride lead to their needed downfall, <br>let them drown so deep in their insolent pride, <br>till the world is free from the taint of humans<br> lost to redemption.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Phillip+Ellis">Phillip Ellis</a><div class=q>
