Fata Morgana

________________________________________________
Title:     Fata Morgana
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti [More Titles by Rossetti]

A blue-eyed phantom far before
Is laughing, leaping toward the sun;
Like lead I chase it evermore,
I pant and run.

It breaks the sunlight bound on bound;
Goes singing as it leaps along
To sheep-bells with a dreamy sound
A dreamy song.

I laugh, it is so brisk and gay;
It is so far before, I weep:
I hope I shall lie down some day,
Lie down and sleep.

[The end]
Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem: Fata Morgana
