A Cabin In the Wilderness

I saw a cabin in my dream, Beside it ran a shimmering stream, Along the pathway lilacs grew A tree-lined meadow filled the view And near the wall a rough hewn seat Inviting me to rest my feet. The elegant guests who came to call Wore furs or feathers - and were very small Careless of time, at dusk or dawn They liked their lunch served on the lawn, Like any gracious host I spread A snack of nuts and bits of bread. This place of peace I'd longed to find Restored my soul and eased my mind. It's just a dream, I must confess, Some day I'll find it nevertheless, My cabin in the wilderness. Phil Organ
