Poems (Mary Coleridge)/Poem 59

​

LIX FAIR AS A DREAM!
What vision of the softly sleeping eyes Shone like the vision that they could not see?Night, quivering with the children of the skies    Resplendently.
​
Fair is her dream. But ah! what fairest dream Is half so lovely as the dawn of day,    When the first golden gleam Chases the rose and dove colour away?
