A SONG OF LOVE AND YOUR DREAMS by ARTHUR W. UPSON

First Line: IF LIFE BE THE STREET
Last Line: THE FALSE ONES TRUE!
Subject(s): DREAMS; LOVE; NIGHTMARES;
IF Life be the street
Where dreams are sold,
Faith is the purse
Of exhaustless gold.

Dreams are a-many,
Both false and true,
But Love's is the home
You fetch them to;

And there, all alone
With Love, you pour
The dreams you bought
On your chamber floor.

And when Love looks
Each packet through,
His smile turns all
The false ones true!
