A DREAM AND A SONG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A dream comes in and a song goes forth
Last Line: "where love came home in a dream to me."
Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares


A DREAM comes in and a song goes forth;
The wind is south and the sun is north --
The daisies run on the dunes to the sea,
And over the world my soul goes free.
Ah, over the world to sing and roam
In the sun and wind- without a home
Till a woman's heart shall dream and say:
"O song of the dreamer I bid you stay
And sing in my heart: make glad my feet
To run as the winds do, soft and fleet
Over the dunes and down to the sea,
Where Love came home in a dream to me."
