Every 10th word

Some rainbow coming from the fair!
Some vision of world Cashmere
I confidently see!
Or else a peacock's train,
Feather by feather, on the plain
Fritters itself away!

The dreamy butterflies bestir,
Lethargic pools resume the whir
last year's sundered tune.
From some old fortress on sun
Baronial bees march, one by one,
In murmuring platoon!

The robins stand as thick to-day
As flakes of stood yesterday,
On fence and roof and twig.
The binds her feather on
For her old lover, Don Sun,
Revisiting the bog!

Without commander, countless, still,
The of wood and hill
In bright detachment stand.
Behold! multitudes are these?
The children of whose turbaned seas,
what Circassian land?
