LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 59, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: My carriage is traversing slowly
Last Line: They titter and haste swiftly by.
Subject(s): Dreams; Magic; Nightmares


MY carriage is traversing slowly
The greenwood merry and bright,
Through flowering valleys, like magic
Illumed by the sun's glowing light.

I'm sitting and thinking and dreaming,
And muse on my mistress dear;
When, nodding their heads at the window,
Three shadowy figures appear.

They skip and they make wry grimaces,
So scoffing and yet so shy;
And twirling mist-like together,
They titter and haste swiftly by.
