    Here are a couple by my favorite poet, James Whitcomb Riley



    "DREAM"











    Because her eyes were far too deep
    And holy for a laugh to leap
    Across the brink where sorrow tried
    To drown within the amber tide;
    Because the looks, whose ripples kissed
    The trembling lids through tender mist,
    Were dazzled with a radiant gleam--
    Because of this I called her "Dream."
    Because the roses growing wild
    About her features when she smiled
    Were ever dewed with tears that fell
    With tenderness ineffable;
    Because her lips might spill a kiss
    That, dripping in a world like this,
    Would tincture death`s myrrh-bitter stream
    To sweetness--so I called her "Dream."
    Because I could not understand
    The magic touches of a hand
    That seemed, beneath her strange control,
    To smooth the plumage of the soul
    And calm it, till, with folded wings,
    It half forgot its flutterings,
    And, nestled in her palm, did seem
    To trill a song that called her "Dream."
    Because I saw her, in a sleep
    As dark and desolate and deep
    And fleeting as the taunting night
    That flings a vision of delight
    To some lorn martyr as he lies
    In slumber ere the day he dies--
    Because she vanished like a gleam
    Of glory, do I call her "Dream."

    YLLADMAR












    Her hair was, oh, so dense a blur
    Of darkness, midnight envied her;
    And stars grew dimmer in the skies
    To see the glory of her eyes;
    And all the summer rain of light
    That showered from the moon at night
    Fell o`er her features as the gloom
    Of twilight o`er a lily-bloom.
    The crimson fruitage of her lips
    Was ripe and lush with sweeter wine
    Than burgundy or muscadine
    Or vintage that the burgher sips
    In some old garden on the Rhine:
    And I to taste of it could well
    Believe my heart a crucible
    Of molten love--and I could feel
    The drunken soul within me reel
    And rock and stagger till it fell.
    And do you wonder that I bowed
    Before her splendor as a cloud
    Of storm the golden-sandaled sun
    Had set his conquering foot upon?
    And did she will it, I could lie
    In writhing rapture down and die
    A death so full of precious pain
    I`d waken up to die again.
