The Poet's Pluck - Christina Rossetti

The Poet’s Pluck – Christina Rossetti In MY DREAM I see A PORTRAIT And REMEMBER a girl I used to know, SHE SAT AND SANG a loving song Of a boy from Oh, so long ago. In DREAM LAND she seems ALOOF As if THE WORLD were far away, But the song she sings I know so well, It is the song we learned to play. IN AN ARTISTS STUDIO I hear that song That we sang for a year or so And A PORTRAIT still lives in MY DREAM Though we sang Oh, so long ago. 08/02/17

This poem has such a beautiful yet melancholy feel to it Barry. It stirs the heart! If for a contest, it should do great! 7 ; )
