A boat beneath a sunny sky, \
Lingering onward dreamily \
In an evening of July---
]
#block[
Children three that nestle near, \
Eager eye and willing ear, \
Pleased a simple tale to hear---
]
#block[
Long has paled that sunny sky: \
Echoes fade and memories die. \
Autumn frosts have slain July.
]
#block[
Still she haunts me, phantomwise, \
Y/n moving under skies \
Never seen by waking eyes.
]
#block[
Children yet, the tale to hear, \
Eager eye and willing ear, \
Lovingly shall nestle near.
]
#block[
In a Wonderland they lie, \
Dreaming as the days go by, \
Dreaming as the summers die:
]
#block[
Ever drifting down the stream--- \
Lingering in the golden gleam--- \
Life, what is it but a dream?
