Miracles

 I dreamt I saw a huge grey boat in silence steaming 
Down a canal; it drew the dizzy landscape after; 
The solemn world was sucked along with it—a streaming 
Land-slide of loveliness.
 O, but I rocked with laughter, 
Staring, and clinging to my tree-top.
 For a lake
Of gleaming peace swept on behind.
 (I mustn’t wake.
) 

And then great clouds gathered and burst in spumes of green 
That plunged into the water; and the sun came out 
On glittering islands thronged with orchards scarlet-bloomed; 
And rosy-plumed flamingoes flashed across the scene.
.
.

O, but the beauty of their freedom made me shout.
.
.
 
And when I woke I wondered where on earth I’d been.
