AND THE DREAMERS OF DREAMS, by JOHN OSCAR BECK First Line: A maiden there is Last Line: Be just for the children and fools and the dreamers of dreams. Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares | |||
A maiden there is Who may never be seen by the peeper But is playmate with children and fools and the dreamers of dreams. She knows that the savant is lustful and seeks to betray her, And will hold her up bare to the world, But she trusts herself freely to children And reveal her chaste beauty to fools and the dreamers of dreams. So science shall never find her, and the searchers shall seek her in vain, And her loveliness shall always Be just for the children and fools and the dreamers of dreams. | 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 GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
