DREAMS by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: OH RULE ME TO BE WHOLLY THINE
Last Line: A DREAM OF STARS AND SNOW!
Subject(s): DREAMS; LOVE; NIGHTMARES;

OH rule me to be wholly thine,
Soft, sleeping mesmerist!
One moment make the horizon mine
Of those sweet eyes I kissed;—
Within its wide, star-broken line,
On my bold claims insist
To see @3one@1 vision wax and shine,—
Then lose me in the mist.

Yet, ever fearful of alarm,
My Fancy's loth to know
If sleep @3has@1 dreams to match the charm
Its outward touches show.
She warns me not to risk her harm
So far a-field, for lo,
Close captive of my tender arm,
A dream of stars and snow!
