THE ISLE OF LOST DREAMS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: There is an isle beyond our ken
Last Line: Drift through the isle beyond our ken.
Alternate Author Name(s): Macleod, Fiona
Subject(s): Dreams; Tears; Time; Nightmares


There is an isle beyond our ken,
Haunted by Dreams of weary men.
Grey Hopes enshadow it with wings
Weary with burdens of old things:
There the insatiate water-springs
Rise with the tears of all who weep:
And deep within it, deep, oh deep
The furtive voice of Sorrow sings.
There evermore,
Till Time be o'er,
Sad, oh so sad, the Dreams of men
Drift through the isle beyond our ken.
