They called me to the Window, for lyrics

They called me to the Window, for

" 'Twas Sunset" - Some one said -

I only saw a Sapphire Farm -

And just a Single Herd -

Of Opal Cattle - feeding far

Upon so vain a Hill -

As even while I looked - dissolved -

Nor Cattle were - nor Soil -

But in their Room - a Sea - displayed -

And Ships - of such a size

As Crew of Mountains - could afford -

And Decks - to seat the skies -

This - too - the Showman rubbed away -

And when I looked again -

Nor Farm - nor Opal Herd - was there -

Nor Mediterranean -
