Poems (Mary Coleridge)/Poem 121

​
CXXI
Egypt's might is tumbled down Down a-down the deeps of thought;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.
