A SONG-DREAM, by                    
First Line: Remembering your music in the night
Last Line: And love -- which is another name for you.


Remembering your music in the night,
I woke from dreams, and listening I heard
Ethereal voices where the zephyr stirred
Amid the green leaves trembling with delight;
From distant fields down airy paths moon-white,
Floated from time to time a fairy word,
Melodious, -- the lyric of some bird
That sang to cheer its solitary flight.

Then Sleep's soft fingers brushed mine eyelids o'er,
The zephyr hushed, the bird's voice fainter grew
Until at last I slumbered as before,
To dream again, and in this dream I knew
A song familiar and love's voice once more,
And love -- which is another name for you.
