Explore "Fata Morgana" by Christina Georgina Rossetti on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A blue-eyed phantom far before / Is laughing, leaping toward the sun; / Like lead I chase it evermore, / I pant and run.
It breaks the sunlight bound on bound; / Goes singing as it leaps along / To sheep-bells with a dreamy sound / A dreamy song.
I laugh, it is so brisk and gay; / It is so far before, I weep: / I hope I shall lie down some day, / Lie down and sleep.
