Bubbles. A bubble rises on the stream, And dances down the tide ; Beneath the sun bright colours gleam, And glisten on its side. What though, before a moment’s past, It all must burst in air— The little while that it may last, The sunshine makes it fair. I will not care although my dream Be what I ne’er may see ; My hope at least can make it seem As though it yet might be. A little longer, and I know It all may pass away ; Then, when I must, I’ll let it go, But keep it while I may.
