Love

Nonsense

by Mary E. Coleridge 1861–1907

From Poems (1908)

Love

I had a boat, and the boat had wings;
And I did dream that we went a flying
Over the heads of queens and kings,
Over the souls of dead and dying,
Up among the stars and the great white rings,
And where the Moon on her back is lying.
