SONGS FOR DREAMS
Some dreams that I have loved
And dreamed by night and day,
Though they are lost to me,
Are never far away.
And dreamed by night and day,
Though they are lost to me,
Are never far away.
A part of lurking winds,
Of silence in grey rooms—
From every echoed sound,
And out of corner-glooms
Of silence in grey rooms—
From every echoed sound,
And out of corner-glooms
They come as strange as ghosts,
A little death-sad throng,
Beseeching me with praying hands
To give them life in song.
A little death-sad throng,
Beseeching me with praying hands
To give them life in song.
