Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter
Subject(s): Sleep
In deep sleep I had forgot
All that thou hadst taught of care;
Now, alas! remembered not
Is the dream I dreamed there:
Roses die
When summer goes,
Dream is but
A fading rose.
O what sorcery is this --
Thou whom I have banished
Should into my sleep arise,
Yet by dawn have vanished!
Waking, sleeping,
This I know --
Only thou
Wouldst grieve me so.
