Dreams

Soft and sweet was Adeline In the realm that lay between The mortal day and affair And death's plutonian lair What she said then did out pour Into my soul evermore And I recall all to this day The most beautiful words she could ever say Soft and sweet was Adeline My nearest dearest Adeline In her arm's soft embrace And in time's slowing pace So this night it went unending And our souls still transcending Until the first bright morning beam And I awoke then from my dream The sweet nepenthe of my dream
