THE DREAM SHIP,

When the world is fast asleep.
Along the midnight skies
As though it were Il wondering cloud
The ghostly Dream-Ship flies.
An angel stands at the Dream Ships
helm.
An ANGEL stands at the PROV.
And an angel stands at the Dream-Ship' 3
side
With u rue wreath on her brow.
The other angels. silver-crowned,
Pilot and helmsman are,
And the angel with the wreath of rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.
The dreams they fall on rich and poor,
They fall on young and old;
And some are dreams of poverty,
And some are dreams of gold.
And some are dreams that thrill with JOY,
And some that melt TO tears.
Some are dreams of the dawn of love,
And some of the old dead years.
On rich and poor alike they fall.
Alike on young and cid.
Bringing TO slumberinG earth their joys
And sorrows manifold
The fr;endlesS youth in them shall do
The deeds of mighty men.
And dropping age shall feel the grace
OF buoyant youth again.
The king shall he bcgsarman-
Tie paUper be a king
In thar revenge or recompense
The Dream Ship dreams do bring.
So ever downward float the dreams
That are for all and me,
And there is never mortal man
Can solve that mystery.
But ever onward in its course
Along the haunted skies
As though it were Il cloud astray-
The ghostly Dream-Ship flies.
Two angels with their silver crowns
Pil1t and helmsman are.
And an angel with a wreath of rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.
