by Edith Fitzgerald ( flourished 1927 )
Dreams
Language: English
Lonely, I watch at my darkened window, It is night and I cannot sleep, My thoughts run riot and restless dreams, Chained throughout the day, Now break their bonds, To flutter like timid birds. Somewhere under this same dark mantel, Beats a heart I love, I do not ask that heart To beat for me I could not bear such happiness Enough that the same stars shine on him, That sleep untroubled fall on the head I love! It is enough to dream.
