LOVE IN DREAMS.

By Arthur Symons

I LIE on my pallet bed,

And I hear the drip of the rain;

The rain on my garret roof is falling,

And I am cold and in pain.

I lie on my pallet bed,

And my heart is wild with delight;

I hear her voice through the midnight calling,

As I lie awake in the night.

I lie on my pallet bed,

And I see her bright eyes gleam;

She smiles, she speaks, and the world is ended,

And made again in a dream.
