THE VALLEY

Richard Le Gallienne

I will walk down to the valley And lay my head in her breast, Where are two white doves, The Queen of Love's,

In a silken nest; And, all the afternoon, They croon and croon The one word “Rest!”

And a little stream That runs thereby Sings “Dream!” Over and over

It sings — “O lover, Dream!”
