A DREAM, by MARGARET ELIZABETH MUNSON SANGSTER Poet's Biography First Line: Some perfect day I shall not need Last Line: Only that I have fallen asleep. Alternate Author Name(s): Van Deth, Gerrit, Mrs. Subject(s): Dreams; Sleep; Nightmares | ||||||||
SOME perfect day I shall not need To bend my brows o'er baffling tasks; Some perfect day my eyes will read The meaning hid 'neath clouding masks; Some perfect day my word and deed Will fill the ideal my spirit asks. Dear perfect day of days to be, Which safe the steadfast heaven doth keep Deep filled with love and rest for me, Close pressed with sheaves I yet shall reap, When they who watch beside me see Only that I have fallen asleep. | 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 ARE THE CHILDREN AT HOME? by MARGARET ELIZABETH MUNSON SANGSTER |
