Thoughts by Myra Morris

| No TrackBacks
I dreamed beside the smouldering fire.
   I said, "Oh, thoughts, go far
And bring me back the loveliest,
   The dearest things there are!"

And then straightway, wide-winging out,
   My thoughts were little bees
That nestled joyfully within
   The blown anemones.

Within those silken cups they curled,
   Then swift -- they'd hardly gone --
They brought me back sheer loveliness
   To lay my sleep upon!
