A DREAM OF LOVE, SELECTION, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Look, this is why I feel so gay
Last Line: If I should find her 'neath this wreath by chance!


Look, this is why I feel so gay:
I have grown warm with cheer,
Clasped by a dream so dear.
Alas, I had to wake, for it was day.
Hear what she has done unto me:
All the summer I must peer
Into ladies' eyes to see
If I can find my dear: then sorrow's end were near.
Maybe she is going to this dance.
Ladies, I beg you, be so kind,
Push back your hats, if you don't mind!
If I should find her 'neath this wreath by chance!
