The rose in the wind

Walter Byron Mourant

Dip and swing,

Lift and sway;

Dream a life,

In a dream, away.

Like a dream

In a sleep

Is the rose

In the wind;

And a fish

In the deep;

And a man

In the mind:

Dreaming to lack

All that is his;

Dreaming to gain

All that he is.

Dreaming a life,

In a dream, away;

Dip and swing,

Lift and sway.
