THE DREAM <br /> <br />IN A DREAM I SAW YOU WEEP A SINGLE SOLITARY TEAR; <br />IT CAME FROM THAT EYE OF HAZEL FLECTED WITH GREEN, <br />AND THEN MANY MORE TEARS DID APPEAR; <br />AS FLOWERS DO BESIDE THE HIPPOCRENE, <br />THEN YOUR SMILE; A SPANGLED BLAZE; <br />SLOWLY CEASED TO SHINE, <br />AS IT COULD'T OUTLAST THE LIVING RAYS, <br />THAT FILL THAT FACE OF THINE; <br />AS CLOUDS FROM EOS' DAWN RECEIVE, <br />A DEEP MELODOIOUS DYE; <br />WHICH SCARSE THE SHADES OF COMING EVE, <br />CAN BANISH FROM THE SKY; <br />FOR YOUR SMILE IT DOES MY TROUBLED MIND, <br />ITS PURE JOY IMPART; <br />AND YOUR EYES DO LEAVE A SMOLDERING GLOW BEHIND; <br />THAT ENGULPHUS- AND BRIGHTENS UP; <br />MY LONELY SLEEPING HEART.<br /><br />JAMES ROBERTS<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-dream-81/
