THE DREAM, by                    
First Line: Am I so bankrupt of delight
Last Line: As earthly, for myself to wear.
Alternate Author Name(s): Le Bailly, Mrs.
Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares


AM I so bankrupt of delight
I turn upon the stars for pain?
The happy stars that dream all night
The dream I must not dream again!

Oh not until the stars to use
The glory of my dream forbear,
Its robe of light need I refuse
As earthly, for myself to wear.
