By an old drinking well on the grass so green I lay down and fell into a dream By a strange mellow sound from a silver eyed bird I opened my eyes but said no word On the pathway came walking a woman so bold Behind her in silence went the old ic Ahead ran the children with joyful cries Their faces were lifted to the skies The woman s hair was raven and black as the night Covered with stars shining bright As they passed by the well I saw that their eyes Were flaming like many coloured ice They passed by the well like a breeze pure and clean Soon they were nowhere to be seen When I woke up alone on the grass so green I looked into the well to catch the dream The water was rising and I felt a chill I willed the water to be still There was a face in the mirror like a face out of time The eyes held a shimmery shine 编辑于2008/03/27更新
