Poets ' Corner

IN A DREAM (Written for THE SUN) In a dream -you came to me Stepping free (O, So she used to walk, with tilted head And parted lips, I said) And rosy where the madcap wind had kissed you At what trystf You Came with just the shadow of a smile As if, a little while Since, you had a lovely echo heard . . . So, with never a word, But musing (in my dream) with downcast eye You passed me by. A.W.R.

THE WOODS

(Written for THE SUN) I dare not go Any more Into the Woods . . . The lovely Woods of Sleep. Once I hastened thither Out of the day Along the leaf-green silence Of the way Misted with promises . . . 1 do not know Any more The deep heart shadow's certainty. I creep Fearfully to the edge And pause and stay Looking along the quietness That lay Misted with promises . . . ALISON GRANT. ■Wellington.
