The Dragonfly Ballet

This vision ahead intoxicates Near waters edge I sway Rydal lake so crisp so clear As if created yesterday I sit a while to soak the scene swiftly turn, to see, to spy Faint flutter aimed towards my ears The most elegant enchanting dragonfly With delicate opaque wings He floats amongst the reeds I hold my breath, behold the sight Candescent blues and greens I just cannot believe the view One more bound for the reed A third, a fourth and now there's six A great dragonfest indeed Rays upon the glassy mere Swaying grass neath slender tree Lay my head upon the clover Dragonfly ballet witnessed by me
