EGYPT'S MIGHT IS TUMBLED DOWN
                                  - Mary Coleridge

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's pride is naught.

But the dreams their children dreamed
  Fleeting, unsubstantial, vain.
Shadowy as the shadows seemed
Airy nothing, as they deemed,
  These remain.
