SHADOW SHIPS, by                    
First Line: Above me sail the shadow ships
Last Line: And gentle breezes softly blow.
Subject(s): Procrastination


ABOVE me sail the shadow ships,
As I lie here beneath the trees;
Down through the boughs the sunshine slips,
I hear the drowsy hum of bees.

My fancy sails her cloud-ships, too,
With precious cargoes laden low,
On summer seas, where skies are blue,
And gentle breezes softly blow.
