Premiere Contest WinnerLost In Dreams of Thee

Awarded FIRST PLACE  in contest sponsored by:  Brian Strand of England
____________________________________________________________

‘Tis hell,  this place 
Me doth dwell 
Lost in dreams of thee
Drifting 'ore a unquenched wave
Across a never ending sea
From whence that shore
That once appeared before me
So demure
Fie, ’twas but a dream, a dream
A dream, and nothing more

Is this Romeo's dying speech over the (merely sleeping) body of Juliet? Very dramatic and artistic stuff, Lainie. Love, daver
