< < < The Mystery of Pain
The one that could repeat the summer day > > >

The nearest dream recedes, unrealized

The nearest dream recedes, unrealized.

       The heaven we chase

       Like the June bee

       Before the school-boy

       Invites the race;

       Stoops to an easy clover —

Dips — evades — teases — deploys;

       Then to the royal clouds

       Lifts his light pinnace

       Heedless of the boy

Staring, bewildered, at the mocking sky.

       Homesick for steadfast honey,

       Ah! the bee flies not

That brews that rare variety.
