Excerpt from The Fall of Tollan At times we dream when softly flows the day, And, dreaming, come dim visions of the past, As when the witch's mirror, held aloft, Shows flitting figures that anon do nod And beckon us with mystery, and then Are gone, thus would I hold your fleeting thought One storied moment, while that kings of yore Rise up in phantom state, or princesses, Begarlanded with flowers, with raven hair That drooping wondrously o'er chiselled arms Is caught with gold and glitters in the sun, Or while the splendid pomp of savage men Sweeps by with flare of jewel, trail of dust, Or naked bards touch light their golden harps To hymn the music of a hero's deeds: For this one moment would I hold your thought.
