The Poetical Works of James Gates Percival | ||
A VISION.
“Whence dost thou come to me,
Sweetest of visions,
Filling my slumbers with holiest joy?”
Sweetest of visions,
Filling my slumbers with holiest joy?”
“Kindly I bring to thee
Feelings of childhood,
That in thy dreams thou be happy awhile.”
Feelings of childhood,
That in thy dreams thou be happy awhile.”
247
“Why dost thou steal from me
Ever as slumber
Flies, and reality chills me again?”
Ever as slumber
Flies, and reality chills me again?”
“Life thou must struggle through:
Strive,—and in slumber
Sweetly again I will steal to thy soul.”
Strive,—and in slumber
Sweetly again I will steal to thy soul.”
