MY LADY IN THE FIRE-LIGHT, by                    
First Line: I see the lady of my dreams
Last Line: Which worships my sweet lady.
Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares


I see the Lady of my dreams,
My night's dreams, my day's dreams,
She's sitting in the fire-light,
The ruddy, flickering fire-light,
Her shimmering hair, spun-gold it seems,
Reflects the charring logs' red gleams,
The softened shadows of the night
Add eerie charms to lover's sight,
For, from her eyes where flame-jets dart,
Like those within the fire's heart,
Methinks a cherub's soul doth shine,
Unlike the mortal soul of mine,
And in the painting fire's art
She seems an angel's counterpart,
Effulgent with a light divine
That burns the inner soul of mine,
Which worships my sweet Lady.
