A Boat, Beneath A Sunny Sky

A boat, beneath a sunny sky
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening in July-

Children three that nestle near
Eager eye and willing ear
Pleased a simple tale to hear-

Long has paled that sunny sky
Echoes fade and memories die
Autom frost have slain July-

Still she haunted me, phantomwise
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by walking eye.

Children yet, the tale to hear
Eager eye and willing ear
Loving shall nestle near.

In a wonderland they lie
Dreaming as the day goes by
Dreaming as the summer die

Ever drifting down the stream
Lingering in the golden gleam
Life what is it but a dreams
