LOVE IN DREAMS by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS

Poet Analysis

First Line: I LIE ON MY PALLET BED
Last Line: AND MADE AGAIN IN A DREAM.
Subject(s): DREAMS; NIGHTMARES;
I lie on my pallet bed,
And I hear the drip of the rain,
The rain on my garret roof is falling,
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.
