Explore "A Book of Dreams. Part II" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I. A gloomy and a windy day! / No sunny spot is bare; / Dull vapours, in uncomely play, / Go weltering through the air: / If through the windows of my mind / I let them come and go, / My thoughts will also in the wind / Sweep restless to and fro.
I drop my curtains for a dream. -- / What comes? A mighty swan, / With plumage like a sunny gleam, / And folded airy van! / She comes, from sea-plains dreaming, sent / By sea-maids to my shore, / With stately head proud-humbly bent, / And slackening swarthy oar.
