Only a Dream Only a Dream！ It floated thro' The sky of a lonely sleep As floats a gleam Athwart the Blue Of a golden clouded Deep. Only a Dream！ I calmly slept. Meseems I called a name； I woke； and, waking, I think I wept And called —— and called the same. Only a Dream！ Graves have no ears； They give not back the dead； They will not listen to the saddest tears That ever may be shed. Only a Dream！ Graves keep their own； They have no hearts to hear； But the loved will come From their Heaven-Home To smile on the sleeper's tear.
