| 122. The Dream |
| |
| |
| I WOKE to find my pillow wet | |
| With the tears for deeds deep hid in sleep. | |
| I knew no sorrow here, but yet | |
| The tears fell softly through the deep. | |
| |
| Your eyes, your other eyes of dream, | 5 |
| Looked at me through the veil of blank; | |
| I saw their joyous, starlit gleam | |
| Like one who watches rank on rank. | |
| |
| His victor airy legions wind | |
| And pass before his awful throne— | 10 |
| Was there thy loving heart unkind, | |
| Was I thy captive all o’erthrown? | |
