BAGATELLE, SELS., by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Imp of dreams, when she's asleep | |||
I IMP of Dreams, when she's asleep, To her snowy chamber creep, And straight whisper in her ear What, awake, she will not hear-- Imp of Dreams, when she's asleep. II Tell her, so she may repent, That no rose withholds its scent, That no bird that has a song Hoards the music summer-long Tell her, so she may repent. III Tell her there's naught else to do, If to-morrow's skies be blue, But to come, with civil speech, And walk with me to Hampton Beach Tell her there's naught else to do! Tell her, so she may repent Imp of Dreams, when she's asleep! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AN ALPINE PICTURE by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH AN ODE ON THE UNVEILING OF THE SHAW MEMORIA BOSTON COMMON, MAY 31, 1897 by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH APPRECIATION by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH BABY BELL by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH BEFORE THE RAIN by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH BY THE POTOMAC by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH FREDERICKSBURG by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH GUILIELMUS REX by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH HEREDITY by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH MEMORY by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH |
