DOWN in the depths of the sea Grew the Apple-Jelly-Fish-Tree. It was named by a queer old robber And his mates three. I watched it for a second, I watched it for a day. It did not change color For its colors stay. It was as red, as yellow, as white, as blue As gold and stones with the light through! I watched it long and long Till a flying sunfish Swam through its branches. He had opal wings And a sapphire tail. No wonder robbers like to stay Where fish so shining come to play! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GUILIELMUS REX by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH L.E.L.'S LAST QUESTION by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING THE STARLIGHT NIGHT by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS THE FOUNTAIN by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL A DESCRIPTION OF A CITY SHOWER by JONATHAN SWIFT THE STORK by GHALIB IBN RIBAH AL-HAJJAM |
