In Dreams
HAVE seen it all In drearmsBlue hills and little tawny strearns Gold poplars, and crimson barberry trees That run like tongues of fire in all The valleys-and I have heard the fall Of rain, dripping desolately From the gloomy pines. Like the after sorrow of a small child’s crying, The sea sighs wearily. And drearily. The small winds fret the branches of the firs. A rain-bird cries, A cricket stirs, _ And bull-frogs croak in chorus loud and high; And poignantly the thrushes call; I hear the wood-hens cry- ' Crickets still are singing *Neath an apricot moon, Grey duck still go winging And still the pixies croon, Singing cheerily~Dancing eerily- x ’Neath a mellow moon, ‘And I Have wakened laughing To a half-forgotten painHave wakened laughing: For in my dreams I see again Blue hills, and tawny streams.
