Dreaming.

| dreamed one night that I had
died, had crossed the river cold
and wide. and sat at ease on
t'othcr shore, and talked with Poe
of Lost Lenore. l gossiped with
the famed and great, who long
ago had pulled their freight from
mundane scenes. and left renown
which passing ages cannot down.
l talked with Shakespeare. Pope
and Scott, and all they said was
blooming rot. The Bard of
Avon talked away OF how he
used to sit and play with cronies
at the Blue Boar Inn, and lubri-
cate his works with gin. The
poet Byron came along; he didn't
talk OF art or song. but Dragged,
until the light grew dim, of dis
tances he used to swim. And
Scott bored every one to sleep by
talking cattle, swine and sheep.
Their thoughts were anchored to
the past, to trifiing things that
did not last. Their harps were
hung on rusty nails. while they
sat telling ancient tales. The
only one who talked OF song. and
kept it up the whole day long,
was Robert Southey-and his lay
would make mules shy and run
away. When morning came |
woke; said |. This comes from
eating too much pic"
