William Allingham - The BubbleWilliam Allingham - The Bubble
Work rating: Low


    See the pretty planet!       Floating sphere!     Faintest breeze will fan it       Far or near;     World as light as feather;       Moonshine rays,     Rainbow tints together,       As it plays.     Drooping, sinking, failing,       Nigh to earth,     Mounting, whirling, sailing,       Full of mirth;     Life there, welling, flowing,       Waving round;     Pictures coming, going,       Without sound.     Quick now, be this airy       Globe repelled!     Never can the fairy       Star be held.     Touched--it in a twinkle       Disappears!     Leaving but a sprinkle,       As of tears.
