COME TO ME, DREAMS OF HEAVEN.




Come to me, dreams of heaven!
    My fainting spirit bear
On your bright wings, by morning given,
    Up to celestial air.
Away, far, far away,
    From bowers by tempests riven,
Fold me in blue, still, cloudless day,
    O blessed dreams of heaven!

Come but for one brief hour,
    Sweet dreams! and yet again,
O'er burning thought and memory shower
    Your soft effacing rain!

Waft me where gales divine,
    With dark clouds ne'er have striven,
Where living founts for ever shine—
    O blessed dreams of heaven!*[1]
