Richard Le Gallienne

1866-1947 / England

The Valley

I will walk down to the valley
And lay my head in her breast,
Where are two white doves,
The Queen of Love's,
In a silken nest;
And, all the afternoon,
They croon and croon
The one word 'Rest!'
And a little stream
That runs thereby
Sings 'Dream!'
Over and over
It sings--
'O lover,
Dream!'
