My kind of unrequited love isto love you with bravenessto create the cloud above your headWith your tears stream downmy rain will fallonly to you and hide your painMy kind of unrequited love isto watch the sky uniting in your palmsI'll fly higher than the starsand put my love in betweenso that you can feel it tonightas a lone luster in the skyIt will become your companionfor here i am dreaming the edge of horizon
Believe me, this was true last night,Tho' it is false to-day.-- A.M.F. Robinson.A fair dream to my chamber flew:Such a crowd of folk that stirred,Jested, fluttered; only you,You alone of all that band,Calm and silent, spake no word.Only once you neared my place,And your hand one moment's spaceSought the fingers of my hand;Your eyes flashed to mine; I knewAll was well between us two.On from dream to dream I past,But the first sweet vision castMystic radiance o'er the last.
I have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth,And laid them away in a box of gold;Where long will cling the lips of the moth,I have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth;I hide no hate; I am not even wrothWho found earth’s breath so keen and cold;I have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth,And laid them away in a box of gold.
