DREAMS.

But soon in regal majesty

Her orb should climb the quiet sky,

And o'er the sea should dance a bright

And lustrous line of milky light,

And hand in hand we two would stray

Along the curvage of the bay,

And hear the ripples at our feet

Break on the sand with kisses sweet.

But stay! my visions are but dreams,

With which a lover's fancy teems.

I am not known to her I love;

So far she holds herself above

The toiling world in which I move;

And wealth and station pitiless,

Shut in her love and loveliness
