A DREAM GARDEN by ELLA YOUNG

First Line: WILL YOU COME ONE DAY TO SEE ME
Last Line: WITH A RAINBOW-GLEAM.
Subject(s): DREAMS; NIGHTMARES;

Will you come one day to see me
In my House of Dream?
I'll light the way before you
With a rainbow gleam.

You'll see the cloud-walled garden
Where my lilies grow,
And count the sunflowers swaying
In a golden row.

The south wind blows the rose leaves
Before the sun,
In a cloud of crimson sweetness
When day is done.

And the stars come out a-flutter
Like moths white-winged
Among my apple branches
All flame be-ringed.

Flame-fair the apples shimmer
And change and glow,
And nowhere but in cloud-land
Such apples grow.

O come and see my garden
And my House of Dream,
I'll light the way before you
With a rainbow-gleam.
