the dream - louise bogan lyrics

Loading...

o god, in the dream the terrible horse began
to paw at the air, and make for me with his blows
fear kept for thirty*five years poured through his mane
and retribution equally old, or nearly, breathed through his nose

coward complete, i lay and wept on the ground
when some strong creature appeared, and leapt for the rein
another woman, as i lay half in a swound
leapt in the air, and clutched at the leather and chain

givе him, she said, something of yours as a charm
throw him, she said, somе poor thing you alone claim
no, no, i cried, he hates me; he is out for harm
and whether i yield or not, it is all the same

but, like a lion in a legend, when i flung the glove
pulled from my sweating, my cold right hand;
the terrible beast, that no one may understand
came to my side, and put down his head in love
