THE VALLEY by RICHARD THOMAS LE GALLIENNE

First Line: I WILL WALK DOWN TO THE VALLEY
Last Line: "DREAM!"
I WILL walk down to the valley
And lay my head in her breast,
Where are two white doves,
The Queen of Love's,
In a silken nest;
And, all the afternoon,
They croon and croon
The one word "Rest!"
And a little stream
That runs thereby
Sings "Dream!"
Over and over
It sings --
"O lover,
Dream!"
