Vale` - Egypt's Might Is Tumbled Down Poem by Mary Elizabeth Coleridge

Vale` - Egypt's Might Is Tumbled Down

Rating: 3.0


Egypt's might is tumbled down
Down a-down the deeps of though;
Greece is fallen and Troy town,
Glorious Rome hath lost her crown,
Venice' pride is nought.

But the dreams their children dreamed
Fleeting, unsubstantial, vain,
Shadowy as the shadows seemed,
Airy nothing, as they deemed,
These remain.
