Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Gazelle a True Tale of the Great Rebellion, and Other Poems
I had such an exquisite dream last night, As I lay on my couch asleep, That though it is June, and the earth is bright, I only awoke to weep. I dreamed that a flower which last winter froze 'neath the storms from the pelting skies, And folded its petals under the snows, Away from our loving eyes, Revived, in the light of its loveliness, On the banks of the genial spring, And put out its blossoms to cheer and bless, Like the breath from a seraph's wing. She parted the clouds where the sun went down, With fingers like rosy shells, And came, with the sweep of her hair so brown, Abloom with pearl-colored bells. Clad in the folds of a blushing cloud, With a girdle of lilies white, In tenderest beauty she over me bowed Till I trembled with wild delight.
