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.
