Subject(s): Fantasy


ON the fairy boat aglow,
That Watteau
Launched for love of Cytherea,
Will you sail with me, Frou-Frou,
To the blue
Distant land of Phantasia?

Elfin gold the sun shall shed;
We will tread
Velvet moss through cloudless hours;
Yea, and gather where the thrill is
Lenten lilies
All-abounding 'neath the bowers.

On our love shall fall the ray
Through the day
At the forest's sombre feet.
All too soon the night shall mingle
In the dingle
Twilight, where the shadows meet.

Seated in the spangled bows,
Wedding brows,
We shall come, O Beauty's daughter,
Back between the moonlight's doors,
While the oars,
Gliding swiftly, wound the water.
