One by one he told the dreams of all that slept in that street. ONE BY ONE HE TOLD THE DREAMS OF ALL THAT SLEPT IN THAT STREET
eons even now raise anchor after anchor; the stars flash by them; they slip out of the night; their prows go gleaming into the twilight of memory, and night soon lies far off, a black cloud hanging low, and faintly spangled with stars, like the harbour and shore of some low-lying land seen afar with its harbour lights." Dream after dream that soul related as he sat there by the window. He told of tropical forests seen by unhappy men who could not escape from London, and never would--forests made suddenly wondrous by the song of some passing bird flying to unknown eyries and singing an unknown song. He saw the old men lightly dancing to the tune of elfin pipes--beautiful dances with fantastic maidens--all night on moonlit imaginary mountains; he heard far off the music of glittering Springs; he saw the fairness of blossoms of apple and may thirty years fallen; he heard old voices--old tears came glistening back; Romance sat cloaked and crowned upon southern hills, and the soul knew him. AFRICAN COAST I SEE THE GALLEONS EVEN NOW RAISE ANCHOR AFTER ANCHOR THE STARS FLASH BY THEM THEY SLIP OUT OF THE NIGHT THEIR PROWS GO GLEAMING INTO THE TWILIGHT OF MEMORY AND NIGHT SOON LIES FAR OFF A BLACK CLOUD HANGING LOW AND FAINTLY SPANGLED WITH STARS LIKE THE HARBOUR ANDORE OF SOME LOW LYING LAND SEEN AFAR WITH ITS HARBOUR LIGHTS DREAM AFTER DREAM THAT SOUL RELATED AS HE SAT THERE BY THE WINDOW HE TOLD OF TROPICAL FORESTS SEEN BY UNHAPPY MEN WHO COULD NOT ESCAPE FROM LONDON AND NEVER WOULD FORCE MADE SUDDENLY WONDROUS BY THE SONG OF SOME PASSING BIRD FLYING TO UNKNOWN ERIES AND SINGING AN UNKNOWN SONG HE SAW THE OLD MEN LIGHTLY DANCING TO THE TUNE OF ELFIN PIPES BEAUTIFUL DANCES WITH FANTASTIC MAIDENS ALL NIGHT ON MOONLIT IMAGINARY MOUNTAINS HE HEARD FAR OFF THE MUSIC OF GLITTERING SPRINGS HE SAW THE FAIRNESS OF BLOSSOMS OF APPLE AND MAY THIRTY YEARS FALLEN HE HEARD OLD VOICES OLD TEARS CAME GLISTENING BACK ROMANCE SAT CLOAKED AND CROWNED UPON SOUTHERN HILLS AND THE SOUL KNEW HIM
