The Dream<\/h1>\n

by Edna St. Vincent Millay<\/p>\n

Love, if I weep it will not matter,
\nAnd if you laugh I shall not care;
\nFoolish am I to think about it,
\nBut it is good to feel you there.
\nLove, in my sleep I dreamed of waking,
\nWhite and awful the moonlight reached
\nOver the floor, and somewhere, somewhere,
\nThere was a shutter loose, it screeched!
\nSwung in the wind, and no wind blowing!
\nI was afraid, and turned to you,
\nPut out my hand to you for comfort,
\nAnd you were gone! Cold, cold as dew,
\nUnder my hand the moonlight lay!
\nLove, if you laugh I shall not care,
\nBut if I weep it will not matter,
\nAh, it is good to feel you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
