Dreams

I GAVE my life to another lover,
     I gave my love, and all, and all—
  But over a dream the past will hover,
     Out of a dream the past will call.

I tear myself from sleep with a shiver
     But on my breast a kiss is hot,
  And by my bed the ghostly giver
     Is waiting tho’ I see him not.
