Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Dream Beautiful: And Other Poems
Sometimes amid the weary jar and toil Of bitter, barren hours that come and go Like aimless ghosts of days I used to know, I feel about my heart the strangling coil Of dumb despair, and read the certain foil Of Fate, misnamed of faith the Better-so Then with mine own hand I would crush and throw Hopes, deeds, and soul amid the wreck and spoil, Did I not have thee near me, oh, my Love, And feel that by the magic of thy hand Something were builded for my heart above The toys with which we strew life's shifting sand, Did I not lean upon thy soul, and trust Thy love to build anew where time has turned to dust.
