All Mine in Dreams
Reading edition
The Jumbler, thinking of "The Little House," also thinks of a little house-keeper.
O little girl with wondrous eyes And charms of Graces Three! "How have you come, why have you come To mean so much to me?" Unrest within my heart you've raised— And yet, how sweet it seems! My hopes, My dear, this much I know: You're mine, all mine, in dreams. O little maid, dear, dearest maid, Should you be lost to me Were I to wake and straightway go And tell my love to thee? What powers or aid could I invoke? Alas! dear one, it seems The risk's too great of losing all— So mine still stay in dreams.
