Silver Bluebell, Are You Singing



Silver bluebell,  are you singing,
Or, perchance, my heart is dreaming?
Light from rosy icon flashes
Falling on my golden lashes.

Though I"m not that gentle infant
in the flapping splash of pigeons,
Yet my dreams are sweet and distant,
Somewhere in the woodland regions.

I don"t need  the narrow house,
Word and mystery won"t welcome.
Teach me, please, to dream and drowse,
Fall asleep and never waken.

1917
