THE BURIED DREAM
I hida dream amid the sands of Time,And said, “Now will I go upon myway—I shall be free henceforward from this time,And full of laughter all the livelong day.”But it came following like the midnight voiceOf my true love behind herlattice-bars—And it came following like the silver voiceOf my lost childhood strayed beyond the stars:Like my dead self, so laughable, so sad,So foolish and so lovable itrang—That, for sheer laughter, I was very sad,And took it back into my heart, and sang.

I hida dream amid the sands of Time,
And said, “Now will I go upon myway—
I shall be free henceforward from this time,
And full of laughter all the livelong day.”
But it came following like the midnight voiceOf my true love behind herlattice-bars—And it came following like the silver voiceOf my lost childhood strayed beyond the stars:
But it came following like the midnight voice
Of my true love behind herlattice-bars—
And it came following like the silver voice
Of my lost childhood strayed beyond the stars:
Like my dead self, so laughable, so sad,So foolish and so lovable itrang—That, for sheer laughter, I was very sad,And took it back into my heart, and sang.
Like my dead self, so laughable, so sad,
So foolish and so lovable itrang—
That, for sheer laughter, I was very sad,
And took it back into my heart, and sang.
