Before The Day Turned Into Night

Before the day turned into night I slept until the morning's light My dreams I dreamt I now shall write And pray to God, I get it right The dream I dreamt was long and sweet A dream I wish I could repeat Now wouldn't that be, well, "Oh- so neat" Just a poet's wish, just a poet's treat I dreamt a dream to reminisce I dreamt your lives be full with bliss I dreamt that all that doth read this Be fill your hearts with happiness Before the dream I dreamt last night I prayed to God- you'll wake to light

Bachatcha Charlie - this is actually written in iambic tetrameter and is an excellent example of a quatorzain.
