A dream I had last night that at dawn's light
Did not, like frightened Sprite, flee out of sight.
Recalling now that I'm awake, a stage
Exposes into view a gleaming cage
And there imprisoned naked...in a rage--
Myself shrieking, "Give back my blue plumage!"
Obviously, I lost my cerulean hue,
Forgotten like the Atenean blue
By dreaming of Fortune and Fame all day,
Like Little Boy Blue asleep in the hay...
Use all your skills and talents now, old man;
Ere you go, go azure; Show them you can!
