Love's Dreams

Edwin Leibfreed

Some meet love's dreams when kissed by death,

  And some again in youth, 

But all have felt the quickening breath 

  Of love's undying truth. 

But oh, the longing for the one 

  Who may not ever know 

The dreams arising one-by-one 

  From out the long ago ! 

Some love again who loved before 

  In very tender rhyme; 

The dreams of some come never more 

  Till out the reach of time.

Some taste the bitterness of fate 

  In every cup they drink; 

And some reach happiness too late 

  To mend the broken link. 

And some grow old and fade away, 

  And mingle with the dust; 

And some believe a better day 

  Will come for those who trust.
