First Line: My mistress dreams - and me forgot
Last Line: And I go home.
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter
My mistress dreams -- and me forgot;
For parlour silks I cannot care;
Abroad she will not roam.
But birds invite to sandy grot;
Good warren folk await me there;
So I go home.
Her human sprite's flown out of house;
Her shoe scarce prints the painted mat;
She dreams of fay and gnome,
And such as in full moon carouse:
So, soft, tap this foot, softlier that --
And I go home.
