A Dream Of Spring.

Topics: classic

The world is asleep!    All hushed is Nature's warm, sweet breath.     The world is asleep, and dreaming the silent dream of snow,     But through the silence that seems like the silence of death,     Under their shroud of ermine, the souls of the roses glow.     And forever the heart of the water throbs and beats,     Though bound by a million gleaming fetters and crystal rings,     No sound on lonesome mornings the lonely watcher greets,     But the frosty pane is impressed with the shadow of coming wings.
