THE LANTERN. Visible, invisible, A fluctuating charm, An amber-coloured amethyst Inhabits it; your arm Approaches, and It opens and It closes; You have meant To catch it, And it shrivels; You abandon Your intent— It opens, and it Closes and you Reach for it— The blue Surrounding it Grows cloudy, and It floats away From you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DON'T YOU SEE? by KATHARINE LEE BATES ILLUMINATION OF JELLYFISH by MARTHA E.
