WHEN GRAZIELLA SINGS, by                    
First Line: There is a tender little song you sing
Last Line: The gentle dreamer lives, I think, again.
Subject(s): Dreams; Night; Spring; Nightmares; Bedtime


There is a tender little song you sing,
Rhymed by some gentle, long passed vagabond,
Who in an age forgotten, vanished Spring,
Passing a quiet, lily 'broidered pond,
Seeing with kindly eyes the birds alight,
And all the woodsy gentlefolk about;
Lying among the friendly leaves at night,
Watching the tranquil stars creep mildly out
To peer at their reflections cautiously;
Hearing the peaceful nocturne of the trees
And breathing hidden flowers' witchery --
A-tremble with the age-old thrill of these
Wove in his raptured heart -- your melody.
And in that little moon-enchanted strain
Repeated in your magic voice to me,
The gentle dreamer lives, I think, again.
