ANOTHER DREAM
CHAPTER IV.
Oh! never another dream can be
Like that early dream of ours,
When the fairy, Hope, lay down like a child,
And slept amid opening flowers.
Little we recked of our coming years,
We fancied them just what we chose;
For, whatever life's after lights may be,
It colours its first from the rose.
Altered from the Song ‘Oh never another dream can be’ in The Venetian Bracelet.
Similar material is used in Volume III-Chapter 19, The Early Dream, which is
probably why this poem is excluded by Blanchard.
