Last Night

Last night,  I confess,  I dreamt a dream,

Beneath a shady sylvan scene,

With boughs and branches as canopy,

I gazed upon my Eleanor,

Whom I had lost so long ago.

The Sun's rays filtered inbetween,

And in the light, her locks did gleam,

With radiant beauty; bittersweet,

I gazed upon my Eleanor,

For I had lost her long ago.

But when the boughs and branches shake,

And the illusion seems to break,

I'll stay with her until I wake,

I'll gaze upon my Eleanor,

In my dreams and nothing more.
