I dreamed a dream in nights gone by
Of sailing ships and of the seagulls cry
Of the setting sun late in the afternoon
And a starry night and a rising moon.
And of mermaids singing their sweet song
High above where the albatross throng
Where the sea laps on the wooden bow
And sailors mop a salty brow.
Of rigging singing as the wind did blow
With sailors working on the deck below
And of tall masts with a full set of sails
The captain with a spyglass looking out for whales.
I dreamed a dream in nights gone by
Of sailing ships and of the seagulls cry.
These dreams with such vivid colour of life,
Make a pleasant break from life's trouble and strife.
That surely was an enjoyable dream.I admire your finesse with rhyme, cadence flow and subject matter. Very, very good
nice dream to be dreamed Dream proves man is alive thanx
