WHICH IS THE DREAM OR DREAM WITHIN A DREAM OR APPLE OF GOLD AND SILVER PEAR

WHICH IS THE DREAM, OR DREAM WITHIN A DREAM OR APPLE OF GOLD AND SIVER PEAR

Apple of gold and silver pear

I cannot pluck you from the orchard of dream

You merely shine there

Canopied by the blue silken skies 

That ripple everywhere.

Made to be ornamental;

I shall abide your shade

Beauty far removed still casts its shadows

And in extremity I will drink orangeade

Waking up to find the table laid

The chair drawn up by the cooling fans.

The Spanish fountains.
