Fata Morgana
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.
