DREAMED.
I DREAMED you had come back, O love, to me, Returned in answer to no uttered pica, Come back replying to no spoken word. But fluttered softly, like a homing bird. Back to this breast which waits to welcome thee. Nay, could I hopo this thing so soon might bo? I felt it was my craving fancy erred; I knew, long, long before the vision blurred, I dreamed. Forgetting—still be free; I will not thee pursue—haste not to flee, let I, who since the music of thy voice I heard, Have pushed despair aside to feed on hopo deferred. Cry out to say, "Behold mv longing— I dreamed!" GRACE MACGOWAN COOKE.
