Lying listless in the mosses	A
Underneath a tree that tosses	B
Flakes of sunshine and embosses	B
Its green shadow with the snow	C
Drowsy eyed I sink in slumber	D
Born of fancies without number	D
Tangled fancies that encumber	D
Me with dreams of long ago	C
	-
Ripples of the river singing	E
And the water lilies swinging	E
Bells of Parian and ringing	E
Peals of perfume faint and fine	F
While old forms and fairy faces	B
Leap from out their hiding places	B
In the past with glad embraces	B
Fraught with kisses sweet as wine	F
	-
Willows dip their slender fingers	B
O'er the little fisher's stringers	B
While he baits his hook and lingers	B
Till the shadows gather dim	G
And afar off comes a calling	E
Like the sounds of water falling	E
With the lazy echoes drawling	E
Messages of haste to him	G
	-
Little naked feet that tinkle	H
Through the stubble fields and twinkle	H
Down the winding road and sprinkle	H
Little mists of dusty rain	I
While in pasture lands the cattle	H
Cease their grazing with a rattle	H
Of the bells whose clappers tattle	H
To their masters down the lane	I
	-
Trees that hold their tempting treasures	B
O'er the orchard's hedge embrasures	B
Furnish their forbidden pleasures	B
As in Eden lands of old	J
And the coming of the master	D
Indicates a like disaster	D
To the frightened heart that faster	D
Beats pulsations manifold	J
	-
Puckered lips whose pipings tingle	H
In staccato notes that mingle	H
Musically with the jingle	H
Haunted winds that lightly fan	K
Mellow twilights crimson tinted	L
By the sun and picture printed	M
Like a book that sweetly hinted	M
Of the Nights Arabian	N
	-
Porticoes with columns plaited	M
And entwined with vines and freighted	M
With a bloom all radiated	M
With the light of moon and star	O
Where some tender voice is winging	E
In sad flights of song and singing	E
To the dancing fingers flinging	E
Dripping from the sweet guitar	O
	-
Would my dreams were never taken	N
From me that with faith unshaken	N
I might sleep and never waken	N
On a weary world of woe	C
Links of love would never sever	D
As I dreamed them never never	D
I would glide along forever	D
Through the dreams of long ago	C
