Dream ---- --- -

      Last night  Madelaine

     When  the great seas

    Of our imagined desires swell within us

   You arose

 A majestic  Venus into my dream  .




 And was that presence

 Any the less real

 Than when  I,met you

By the wharf-side long ago -

When the Autumn sun shone

 In your hair - silver and gold

And love passed by  - .
