<p>A Dream</p>
<p>I dreamed we walked together, you and I,<br/>
Along a white and lonely road, that went<br/>
I know not where . . . and we were well content.<br/>
Our laughter was untroubled as the sky,<br/>
And all our talk was delicate and shy,<br/>
Though in that cage of words wild thoughts were pent<br/>
Like prisoned birds that some sweet accident<br/>
Might yet release to sing again, and fly.<br/>
We passed between long lines of poplar trees . . .<br/>
Where, summer comrades gay and debonair,<br/>
The south wind and the sunlight danced . . . you smiled,<br/>
With great glad eyes, as bright as summer seas,<br/>
To feel their twinkling fingers in your hair . .<br/>
And then you kissed me, quickly, like a child!</p>
