MY LADY OF DREAMS by ELLA YOUNG

First Line: ONE NIGHT THE BEAUTY OF THE STARS
Last Line: RISE THROUGH THE DARKNESS, O MY STAR!

ONE night the beauty of the stars
Made magic for me white and still:
I climbed the road above the hill,
The road no waking footstep mars.

I met my Lady in the wood,
The black pine wood above the hill,
Dream-fair her beauty, white and still;
I knelt as one before the Rood.

White Dream that makes my life a war
Of wild desire and baffled will,
Once more my soul with beauty fill,
Rise through the darkness, O my Star!
