THE DREAM by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: AM I SO BANKRUPT OF DELIGHT
Last Line: AS EARTHLY, FOR MYSELF TO WEAR.
Subject(s): DREAMS; NIGHTMARES;

AM I so bankrupt of delight
I turn upon the stars for pain?
The happy stars that dream all night
The dream I must not dream again!

Oh not until the stars to use
The glory of my dream forbear,
Its robe of light need I refuse
As earthly, for myself to wear.
