A resounding chimera <br />That taunts me with what could have been. <br />An echoing voice <br />That sings a ditty of wilderness unseen, <br />And the gales begin to swerve, <br />Howling the words of this song, <br />And it has been such a long time <br />Since I last sang along. <br /> <br />A great river <br />In which was rich with those dream-fishes <br />And sparkling pennies <br />Thrown down those Wells of Wishes. <br />And the water begins to ebb, <br />As if by the night entranced, <br />And it has been such a long time <br />Since I last danced. <br /> <br />This lost world <br />In which everything else was so far away <br />And the fidgeting meadows <br />Whispering of me yesterday, <br />And the boy begins to run <br />Through the valleys and the dales <br />And it has been such a long time <br />Since I last told these tales.<br /><br />K.
