A LOTUS BLOOM by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: WAS THE DREAM THOU WOVEST ME
Last Line: MINE OR THINE, RETURNING, SEEM?
Subject(s): LOTUS; LOTOS;

Was the dream thou wovest me
But a blossom-fantasy?
When it faded from my brain,
Flushed it into flower again?

When thy blossom withereth --
When the fairer flower of death
Weaves its vision -- shall the dream
Mine or thine, returning, seem?
