IF I AM SITTING CLOSE TO YOU, by JESSIE DOWNS BELKNAP First Line: The dreams I dream will all come true Last Line: If I am sitting close to you. Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares | |||
The dreams I dream will all come true, My riches will be more than gold; If I am sitting close to you. My life will all begin anew, Each day new beauties will unfold, The dreams I dream will all come true. Sad lonely days now we are through, My happiness cannot be told, If I am sitting close to you. A little house with sunny view, Well sheltered from the storm and cold, The dreams I dream will all come true. My skies will be a lovely blue, Sweet joy and peace this world will hold, If I am sitting close to you. Now vexing care, adieu, adieu! Gone are the dreamy days of old, The dreams I dream will all come true, If I am sitting close to you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE PRICE OF WOMEN by KAREN SWENSON FROM THE GREATER TESTAMENT (XXII, XXIII, AND XXVI) by FRANCOIS VILLON |
