Fata Morgana Annotated

O sweet illusions of Song,
&nbsp That tempt me everywhere,
In the lonely fields, and the throng
&nbsp Of the crowded thoroughfare!

I approach, and ye vanish away,
&nbsp I grasp you, and ye are gone;
But ever by nigh an day,
&nbsp The melody soundeth on.

As the weary traveller sees
&nbsp In desert or prairie vast,
Blue lakes, overhung with trees,
&nbsp That a pleasant shadow cast;

Fair towns with turrets high,
&nbsp And shining roofs of gold,
That vanish as he draws nigh,
&nbsp Like mists together rolled,—

So I wander and wander along,
&nbsp And forever before me gleams
The shining city of song,
&nbsp In the beautiful land of dreams.

But when I would enter the gate
&nbsp Of that golden atmosphere,
It is gone, and I wander and wait
&nbsp For the vision to reappear.
