Poetry examples for “dreams”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

This brain that fills the skull with schemes,
And its humming hive of dreams,-"

Turn safe to rest, no dreams, no waking;
And here, man, here's the wreath I've made:

Far I hear the steady drummer
Drumming like a noise in dreams.

With thee on Raphael's monument I mourn.
Or wait inspiring dreams at Maro's urn:
With thee repose where Tully once was laid,

To gain Pescennius one employs his schemes,
One grasps a Cecrops in ecstatic dreams. 40
Poor Vadius,[55] long with learned spleen devour'd.

The mossy fountains, and the sylvan shades,
The dreams of Pindus and the Aonian maids,
Delight no more--O Thou my voice inspire

To gain Pescennius one employs his schemes,
One grasps a Cecrops in ecstatic dreams.
Poor Vadius, long with learned spleen devoured,

Assist their blushes, and inspire their airs;
Nay, oft, in dreams, invention we bestow,
To change a flounce, or add a furbelow.

And, truly, waking dreams were, more or less,

a The Prince’s dreams are colored by his vague hopes and expec-
tations.
