I'll gather all my dreams, And gather all my tears; Collect my silly laughter, Collect my foolish fears, And take them to a sailor, And beg of him to drown My dreams, tears, fears, and laughter When night has settled down. And after all my dreams, And after all my tears, And after all my laughter, And all my gripping fears Have strangled in the sea, I'll beg my friend, the sailor, To do the same to me! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DRIVING INTO LARAMIE by JAMES GALVIN THE SMALL SELF AND THE LIBERAL SELF by JAMES GALVIN |
