Edward S. Silvera (Edward Silvera), "Forgotten Dreams" (1927)

Forgotten Dreams

The soft gray hands of sleep
Toiled all night long
To spin a beautiful garment
Of dreams;
At dawn
The little task was done.
Awakening,
The garb so deftly spun
Was only a heap 
Of ravelled thread--
A vague remembrance
In my head.
