Acrostic
A poem in which the
first letter of each line spells out a word, name, or phrase when read
vertically.
“A Boat Beneath
a Sunny Sky”
A boat beneath
a sunny sky,
Lingering
onward dreamily
In an evening
of July —
Children three
that nestle near,
Eager eye and
willing ear,
Pleased a
simple tale to hear —
Long has paled
that sunny sky:
Echoes fade and
memories die:
Autumn frosts
have slain July.
Still she
haunts me, phantomwise,
Alice moving
under skies
Never seen by
waking eyes.
Children yet,
the tale to hear,
Eager eye and
willing ear,
Lovingly shall
nestle near.
In a Wonderland
they lie,
Dreaming as the
days go by,
Dreaming as the
summers die:
Ever drifting down
the stream —
Lingering in
the golden gleam —
Life, what is it
but a dream?
