Subject(s): Memory
I DREAM of Flo, and memory, fleeting light,
Calls up the happy bygone days to-night,
The scent of lavender is faint in air,
(Ah, well-remembered flowers she loved to wear!)
My senses float afar in rapt delight.
How can I e'er forget that summer night!
'Tis not because her black eyes shone so bright,
Nor is it for the witchery in her hair,
I dream of Flo.
She promised me a cushion well bedight
With ruffles blue, and I, oh, luckless wight,
Must send to her -- she said, exchange is fair --
My college pin in gold. Her cushion's where
With half-closed eyes I lie. Is't not aright
I dream of Flo?
