“A city on th inconstant billows dancing;
For so appears this fleet majestical.”

sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”

Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away.”
