AQUARIUM by AVERELL WOODRUFF REYNOLDS

First Line: THE STARS ARE FISH WITHIN A DEEP BLUE BOWL
Last Line: WHO TRIES TO CATCH THEM AS THEY GLIDE FROM HIM.

The stars are fish within a deep blue bowl;
The moon, a snail that crawls from rim to rim;
The sun, a golden turtle swimming by
Who tries to catch them as they glide from him.
