When roused from sleep at night, Oft as I lie awake My restless spirit doth commune With waters of the lake. Stirred by the breezes soft, Waves lap the rocky shore And as they whisper to my soul I fall asleep once more. Dreaming while half awake, Tales of forgotten lore Are lost again within the deep Untold forevermore. O, that my muse could tell Those secrets of the night That lie in depths beneath the waves When dawns the morning light! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET - REALITIES: 1 by EDWARD ESTLIN CUMMINGS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: LUCINDA MATLOCK by EDGAR LEE MASTERS ON LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY by JOHN KENDRICK BANGS TWO SONNETS: 1 by DAVID P.
