A DREAM
Reading edition
I remember when the moon cast down a flood Of gold across my floor and you came through And held my hand and brought me hope like silver dew. I remember when your touch stirred my blood And taught me in a flash to dream of you, And recklessly I poured your face into my heart And lodged you there—and you were a part Of me, before I knew. Then we became comrades, we two, Even before this dream so strange and new Fastened itself upon my wakeful life, And from out the chaos and maddening strife I called to you.... And now you do not answer.
