ONLY DREAM.

It was a brief and troubled dream,
Yet thy pillowed head by mine
Though the storm ragged, stars unseen
Made the midnight seem divine.
Stronger than the oceans roll,
Deeper than the oceans sigh.
Sang thy angel in my soul:
Let me to thy bosom fly.
First in murmurs soft and low
As a bird with broken wing.
Lisp'd its true loves overflow
Simply to thy heart I cling"
Then, as many songs in one,
Rose the music, full and free
"Leave, Oh leave me not alone,
Facing life's mad destiny"
"Place thy stronger hand in mine,
Steel Thy heart against the foe,
Make lfe's clouded midday shine
With its sunsets afterglow."a
So the conquering morning twilight
Broke upon our waking eyes,
Singing sea-bIown songs of midnight
OF love that never dies.
