Ceci N'est Pas Une Pipe
by Andrew Marvell

Laughing, she danced
Across the moonlit bridge
In dreams, which could
Never parallel her stars

For in the wake of conscience
She could only waltz
Across the cracked tiles
That will never bridge
The gap caused by lover's screams

Reality or so it seems
Would be there to spoil her dreams
And return her from madrigal cries
For the dance
Will never meet her feet
Unable to tear her from the bridge
Upon which she cries
In the same pitch as her star that dies
