MY DREAM

Though full of care
I tread the round
Of toil in which man's eager life is bound,
I faint not 'neath the load I bear;
For grievous though the burden sometimes be,
I dream of thee!


And when, at night,
I lie enwound
In silence that is sweeter than all sound,
The darkness, kindlier than light,
