The Weaver of Dreams

In the shadows of night I creep

From bed to bed,

And while you dwell in realms of sleep

I steal into your head.


You do not always bid me there

Deep in your mind,

For oft I enter unawares

With visions close entwined.


And through the mists of memory

Hidden in your head

I weave a web of fantasy

With fine and tenuous thread.


For the cloth I make on my loom in the night

Too fragile to be worn,

Like the dreams I weave so frail and light

Vanishes with the dawn.


But while you slumber have a care,

For, at whim,

It may be a sweet dream or a grim nightmare

That I shall spin.
