Again, this is not a question but...
The following excerpt is from a Wagner's Ring cycle article from a December 1898 issue of Scribner's Magazine:
"Deep in the darkness falls the flood,
Falls the flow of the waving waters
Billowy black, and the three Rhine—
Daughters sink in the gulf of the Rhine below,
And worlds of water fail and fall—
Light is lost in the purple pall,
Gone the Rhine-gold's gleam and glow,
Wakes the woe of the wan-world’s will,
Laughs the Nibelung far and shrill—
He who the light of love renouncing,
Wins the will of the world his own,
Works of the red Rhine-gold, his ring!"
So, what does it read like? What did it describes?
