We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;—
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
It's a very simple little poem, possibly bordering on the twee, but I like it. It's got a nice melody to it, and some pretty imagery. And those of you who are far too sophisticated to appreciate it can all be quite and leave me to my little snippets of fireside poetry.
