They called me to the Window, for " 'Twas Sunset" - Some one said - I only saw a Sapphire Farm - And just a Single Herd - Of Opal Cattle - feeding far Upon so vain a Hill - As even while I looked - dissolved - Nor Cattle were - nor Soil -
But in their Room - a Sea - displayed - And Ships - of such a size As Crew of Mountains - could afford - And Decks - to seat the Skies -
This - too - the Showman rubbed away - And when I looked again - Nor Farm - nor Opal Herd - was there - Nor Mediterranean.
