GENTLE HEART, INDULGE THY DREAMING.

Gentle heart, indulge thy dreaming!
Wake not from thy peaceful mood!
The great world around thee streaming
Holds no joy one-half so good!
Soon thy dreams must have an ending!
Thou wilt wake some early morn
And, o'er shattered idols bending,
Find thy peace from thee is torn!
