A DREAM OF 'DREAMS', by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD Poet's Biography First Line: All day I read your book, at eve Last Line: To see his face so fair. Alternate Author Name(s): Radford, Ernest, Mrs. Subject(s): Shreiner, Olive (1855-1920); Writing & Writers | |||
ALL day I read your book; at Eve Your dreams into my dark sleep stole, Through the unbroken hours to weave A picture for my soul. Now from the deep inspired night I rise, and, near and stretching far, I see the earth lie clear and bright Beneath one morning star. The great World-Spirit watching still Broods over all with folded wings, And ever down-cast eyes until The first bird wakes and sings, And through the eastern cloud the sun Breaks with a new unnumbered day And now His watching is all done -- The night has passed away. He turns toward the dawn, and I Wait as he breathes the sweet fresh air, Then with a new-born joy I cry To see His face so fair. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CELL, SELECTION by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 126: THE DOUBTING MAN by LYN HEJINIAN WAKING THE MORNING DREAMLESS AFTER LONG SLEEP by JANE HIRSHFIELD COMPULSIVE QUALIFICATIONS by RICHARD HOWARD DEUTSCH DURCH FREUD by RANDALL JARRELL LET THEM ALONE by ROBINSON JEFFERS ON BUILDING WITH STONE by ROBINSON JEFFERS TO MY CHILDREN: 3 by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD |
