THE MIRAGE, by NATHAN HASKELL DOLE

First Line: Across the bay are low-lying cliffs
Last Line: The magnificent fortified castles of sea-kings.
Subject(s): Mirages
Across the Bay are low-lying cliffs,
Where stand fishermen's cottages:
I can barely distinguish them with the naked eye.
But to-day the cliffs are lifted, escarpt,
Perpendicular, mysterious, inaccessible,
And those sordid dwellings have become
The magnificent fortified castles of Sea-kings.
