AND THE DREAMERS OF DREAMS, by                    
First Line: A maiden there is
Last Line: Be just for the children and fools and the dreamers of dreams.
Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares


A maiden there is
Who may never be seen by the peeper
But is playmate with children and fools and the dreamers of dreams.

She knows that the savant is lustful and seeks to betray her,
And will hold her up bare to the world,
But she trusts herself freely to children
And reveal her chaste beauty to fools and the dreamers of dreams.

So science shall never find her, and the searchers shall seek her in vain,
And her loveliness shall always
Be just for the children and fools and the dreamers of dreams.
