A WISH, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: May it be mine, ye gods, to tread
Last Line: To slumber undisturbed of dreams.
Subject(s): Dreams; Nature; Peace; Wishes; Nightmares


May it be mine, ye gods, to tread,
Secure in home-felt simple joy,
By lowliest friends accompanied,
And far from pleasures that would cloy,
The path of quiet and of peace.
Married to mountains, woods and streams,
And when my mortal hours shall cease
To slumber undisturbed of dreams.
