AVISION I dreamt of a lovely child. She wore her hair in tresses; In the blue nights of summer so calm and mild We sat in the greenwood's recesses. In mutual rapture and torture we vied, We loved and exchanged loving kisses; The yellow stars in the heavens all sigh'd And seem'd to envy our blisses. I now am awake, and around me gaze In the darkness, alone and despairing; The stars in the heavens are shedding their rays In silence and all-uncaring. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DESERT NIGHT by FRANCES DAVIS ADAMS RIDDLE by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ADOLESCENCE by MAVIS CLARE BARNETT THE GUEST OF PHINEUS by WILLIAM ROSE BENET A PERFECT SONNET by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT MATRIMONIAL MELODIES: 1.
