Paul Laurence Dunbar - Dreams (#1) lyrics

Dream on, for dreams are sweet:  Do not awaken! Dream on, and at thy feet  Pomegranates shall be shaken. Who likeneth the youth  Of life to morning? 'Tis like the night in truth,  Rose-coloured dreams adorning. The wind is soft above,  The shadows umber. (There is a dream called Love.)  Take thou the fullest slumber! In Lethe's soothing stream,  Thy thirst thou slakest. Sleep, sleep; 't is sweet to dream.  Oh, weep when thou awakest!
