Untouched by dark decay;

I foolish dreamt of sunset skies

That slept unchanged amid their gorgeous dies.

I dreamt me of a little boat

Went sailing down a stream,

With stray bright leaves and flowers afloat,

And many a sunbeam’s dusty mote

And painted pebble’s gleam—

I dreamt the barque’s bright goal was won

And still the drifting flowers, the stream flowed on.
