Only a Dream
Only a Dream! It floated thro' The sky of a lonely sleep As floats a gleam Athwart the Blue Of a golden clouded Deep. Only a Dream! I calmly slept. Meseems I called a name; I woke; and, waking, I think I wept And called -- and called the same. Only a Dream! Graves have no ears; They give not back the dead; They will not listen to the saddest tears That ever may be shed. Only a Dream! Graves keep their own; They have no hearts to hear; But the loved will come From their Heaven-Home To smile on the sleeper's tear.
