Explore "Mirage Du Cantonment" by Joyce Kilmer on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Many laughing ladies, leisurely and wise, / Low rich voice, delicate gay cries, / Tea in fragile china cups, ices, macaroons, / Sheraton and Heppelwhite and old thin spoons, / Rather dim paintings on very high walls, / Windows showing lawns whereon the sunlight falls, / Pink and silver gardens and broad kind trees, / And fountains scattering rainbows at the whim of a breeze, / Fragrance, mirth and gentleness, a Summer day / In a world that has forgotten everything but play.
