Across the silent stream Where the slumber-shadows go, From the dim blue Hills of Dream I have heard the west wind blow. Who hath seen that fragrant land, Who hath seen that unscanned west? Only the listless hand And the unpulsing breast. But when the west wind blows I see moon-lances gleam Where the Host of Faerie flows Athwart the Hills of Dream. And a strange song I have heard By a shadowy stream, And the singing of a snow-white bird On the Hills of Dream. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
