Opus 2132

Phillip A. Ellis

I have been as smoke, I have been as flame--
ephemeral and almost seldom tame--

and I dreamt of love, and I dreamt of hate,
I waited and I dreamt, beside the gates

that to sweetness led, and to glory too--
I waited and I dreamt, my future flew.

I have been as smoke, I have been as flame--
ephemeral and almost seldom tame.
