DREAMS, by                    
First Line: Oh rule me to be wholly thine
Last Line: A dream of stars and snow!
Alternate Author Name(s): Le Bailly, Mrs.
Subject(s): Dreams; Love; Nightmares


OH rule me to be wholly thine,
Soft, sleeping mesmerist!
One moment make the horizon mine
Of those sweet eyes I kissed;—
Within its wide, star-broken line,
On my bold claims insist
To see one vision wax and shine,—
Then lose me in the mist.

Yet, ever fearful of alarm,
My Fancy's loth to know
If sleep has dreams to match the charm
Its outward touches show.
She warns me not to risk her harm
So far a-field, for lo,
Close captive of my tender arm,
A dream of stars and snow!
