FANTASY

I sailed in my dreams to the Land of NightWhere you were the dusk-eyed queen,And there in the pallor of moon-veiled lightThe loveliest things were seen . . .

A slim-necked peacock sauntered thereIn a garden of lavender hues,And you were strange with your purple hairAs you sat in your amethyst chairWith your feet in your hyacinth shoes.

Oh, the moon gave a bluish lightThrough the trees in the land of dreams and night.I stood behind a bush of yellow-greenAnd whistled a song to the dark-haired queen . . .
