I'D RATHER DREAM IT SO (FINAL VERSION)

 

perhaps they migrated from a fairy tale

the secret unseen birds I sometimes hear at night

or long before dawn seems to have streaked winter's light

across my filmy windowpane's blue chill;

green was their clime, perhaps by emperors designed

it may be from an emerald time and really distant gardens.

or have they sifted through a high angelic view

with their unlooked for serenades?

I'd  rather dream it so

than more precisely, know
