A DREAM AND A SONG, by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE Poet's Biography First Line: A dream comes in and a song goes forth Last Line: "where love came home in a dream to me." Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares | |||
A DREAM comes in and a song goes forth; The wind is south and the sun is north -- The daisies run on the dunes to the sea, And over the world my soul goes free. Ah, over the world to sing and roam In the sun and wind- without a home Till a woman's heart shall dream and say: "O song of the dreamer I bid you stay And sing in my heart: make glad my feet To run as the winds do, soft and fleet Over the dunes and down to the sea, Where Love came home in a dream to me." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SCINTILLA by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE |
