— the children of a dream !
Leased on the sufferance of fickle men.
Like motes dependent on the sunny beam.
Living but in the sun's indulgent ken, And when that light withdraws, withdrawing then ; — So do we flutter in the glance of youth And fervid fancy, — ^and so perish when The eye of faith grows agM ; — in sad truth.
Feeling thy sway, O Time ! though not thy tooth !
THE MIDSUMMER FAIRIES 91 " Where be those old divinities forlorn, That dwelt in trees, or haunted in a stream ?
Alas ! their ...memories are dimm'd and torn, Like the remainder tatters of a dream ; So will it fare with our poor thrones, I deem 3 — For us the same dark trench Oblivion delves, That holds the wastes of every human scheme.
O spare us then, — ^and these our pretty elves, — We soon, alas ! shall perish of ourselves ! " Now as she ended, with a sigh, to name Those old Olympians, scattered by the whirl Of Fortune's giddy wheel and brought to shame, Methought a scornful and malignant curl Showed on the lips of that malicious churl^ To think what noble havocs he had made ; So that I fear'd he all at once would hurl The harmless fairies into endless shade, — Howbeit he stopp'd awhile to whet his blade.
