DREAMS: ON THE HUNTING GROUND, by DANIEL CHAUNCEY BREWER First Line: We sleep upon fir-tree boughs at night Last Line: For the coming by and by. Subject(s): Animals; Dogs; Dreams; Love; Nightmares | ||||||||
WE sleep upon fir-tree boughs at night, My hunting-dog and I: He dreams of the chase thro' the whistling pines But I Dream of a house in a city street Where the smoky chimneys rise to meet The arching blue of the sky. We sleep upon fir-tree boughs at night, My hunting-dog and I: He dreams of a stag with his antlers tall; But I Dream of a girl with a round sweet face, Of her pretty ways and her charming grace, And the bonds we hope to tie. We sleep upon fir-tree tops at night, My hunting-dog and I: He dreams of the morrow's sunny smile; But I Dream of one that I idolize, And the promise that rests in her soft blue eyes For the coming by and by. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS AN INTRUSION by DANIEL CHAUNCEY BREWER |
