Never-Land
Lay it out dissected star,
Thy beauty marred seen from afar,
That science has what's done to thee,
Destroyed that flight, orb's fantasy.
Where the mountains of the moon rise surging
Up from shallow seas aspiring,
And the circle of unending light
Has left us in the dark affright.
(Twil come back another night)
Another day unfolding sight.
Discover what you can you might!
But the distance curved and bright
You will never travel.
(from DREAM-LAND with apologies to Mr. Poe)
