I had a dream ; yes : —some one softly said " He's gone ; " and then a sigh went round 'the room.
الصفحة 123 - Take me away, and in the lowest deep There let me be, And there in hope the lone night-watches keep, Told out for me. There, motionless and happy in my pain, Lone, not forlorn, — There will I sing my sad perpetual strain, Until the mom.
