Poem by Mathilde Blind


A Dream


Only a dream, a beautiful baseless dream;
           Only a bright
Flash from your eyes, a brief electrical gleam,
           Charged with delight.

Only a waking, alone, in the moon's last gleam
           Fading from sight;
Only a flooding of tears that shudder and stream
           Fast through the night.
