They Called Me to the Window, For

628
 
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 stead—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—
