| Song Of A Dream |
| by: Dr Sarojini Naidu |
| |
| ONCE in the dream of a night I stood |
| Lone in the light of a magical wood, |
| Soul-deep in visions that poppy-like sprang; |
| And spirits of Truth were the birds that sang, |
| And spirits of Love were the stars that glowed, |
| And spirits of Peace were the streams that flowed |
| In that magical wood in the land of sleep. |
| |
| |
| Lone in the light of that magical grove, |
| I felt the stars of the spirits of Love |
| Gather and gleam round my delicate youth, |
| And I heard the song of the spirits of Truth; |
| To quench my longing I bent me low |
| By the streams of the spirits of Peace that flow |
| In that magical wood in the land of sleep. |
