The Cadiz sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 184?-1851, 1844-09-04

l have had tonight strange, but beautiful
dream. Itseemed to me that walked in gar
den full of flowers. 1t was spring-the birds
sang, the heaven was clear, the air mild and pure
all was beautiful around me--but | did not feel
myself happy. / wandered softly along and look
ed toward Alfred, who walked in the same direc-
ton with myself, but upon another path, separa-
ted from me by little stream, whose silver waves
sprang forward one over another, and whispered,
"How charming, how charming, it is TO rock up
on the cool waves"
And was obliged to repeat for myself, "How
charming, how charming!" Alfred also looked
necessarily towards me, and it seemed to me that
our looks by degrees begin to beam.
All at once he went down to the shore, and
stepped into little boat which foated across the
stream, and suddenly paused my feet. Alfred
reached forth his hand 10 me to enter. | would
not, and wept, knew not rightly why. Then he
took my hand, and drew me with gentle force
near him in the boat. wept still, but felt my
selfn unhappy.
Then began the boat, as if guided by invisible
hands, to move itself, and rocked lightly and
pleasantly down the stream, whilst the silver
waves splashng kept around it ana sang mclodi-
ously, "How charming ii is, to rock together up
on cool waves" wept no longer.
Alfred and talked with each other and that
which we said enchanted u.s. We fioated softly
away under misunderstanding fower-arches of
lilacs and roses. The flowers loosened Them
selves from their stems and fell down upon us,
whilst voices from them whispered, 'EHow blessed
it is to love one another, and to be unitedn and
werepeated amid joyful feelings, GLOW blessede'
Then came the night, but night without dark
ness, for all the flowers began to shine in their
bright colors, and every wave looked upwards
with little bright shining diamond in its point.
Above our heads doated light cloud, from which
beamed millions of stars. All at tonce Alfred said
"See there the gravew And before us | saw
something dark formless, horrible, into which we
were hastily driven. felt, however, no fear
Then something like the waiting of wing touch
ed our eye-lids, and we slept. But our sleep
had lovely dreams, and we ceased moi to see one
another. Then it was to me, as if gentle kiss
was pressed upon our lips, a kiss like that with
which a mother awakens her sleeping child, and
we awoke. A beaming morning-red surrounded
US. We held one another by the hand, and as
cended even higher and higher into an atmos
phere of rose odor. | felt my being light anG
