Love in dreams

L. Ronald

I lie on my pallet bed

And I hear the drip of the rain;

The rain on my garret roof is fallings

And I am cold and in pain.

I lie on my pallet bed.

And my heart is wild with delight;

I hear her voice through the midnight calling.

As I lie awake in the night.

I lie on my pallet bed.

And I see her bright eyes gleam;

She smiles, she speaks, and the world is ended.

And made again in a dream.
