COMBING, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: All for the sake of lovely dreams
Last Line: Am sometimes left without a thought.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares


All for the sake of lovely dreams,
I search the World, and everywhere;
I comb the hours for golden thoughts,
As a mermaid combs her hair.
And as she sometimes combs out gold,
That shines like shreds of silk;
That makes the sand she sings on rich,
As cream enriches milk;
And sometimes combs out mud or weeds, All gathered from her miles afloat —
So I, who find a dream at times,
Am sometimes left without a thought.
