The Bubble

See the pretty planet!      Floating sphere!    Faintest breeze will fan it      Far or near;    World as light as feather;      Moonshine rays,    Rainbow tints together,      As it plays.    Drooping, sinking, failing,      Nigh to earth,    Mounting, whirling, sailing,      Full of mirth;    Life there, welling, flowing,      Waving round;    Pictures coming, going,      Without sound.    Quick now, be this airy      Globe repelled!    Never can the fairy      Star be held.    Touched--it in a twinkle      Disappears!    Leaving but a sprinkle,      As of tears.
