A DREAM by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "BENEDICITE, WHAT DREAMED I THIS NIGHT?"
Last Line: THY LADY HATH FORGOTTEN TO BE KIND
Subject(s): LOVE;

Benedicite, what dreamed I this night?
Methought the world was turned up-so-down,
The sun, the moon, had lost their force and light,
The sea also drowned both tower and town.
Yet more marvel, how that I heard the sound
Of one's voice saying, "Bear in thy mind,
Thy lady hath forgotten to be kind."
