I DREAMED last night a Spirit came to me <br />And placed within my hand the golden key <br />Of Fortune. 'Life's best treasures wait <br />For thee,' quoth he, 'beyond the Sunrise Gate.' <br /> <br />I wandered through the night with visions rare <br />Of finding stores of gold and silver there; <br />Of lustrous drifts of scintillating gems <br />Fit to adorn some monarch's diadems. <br /> <br />Then when the dawn lit up the eastern sky <br />And I awoke to find the dream gone by, <br />The Sunrise Gate before mine eyes swung ope, <br />And there my treasures lay Love, Health and Hope!<br /><br />John Kendrick Bangs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-treasures-4/
