Inn of Dreams

<SPAN name="28"></SPAN> <br/> <br/> <p>The Wings of Fortune</p> <p>Fair fortune you are wild and coy,<br/> Fickle, mysterious, and shy . . .<br/> And so we lost you, Love and I!<br/> And now, at last, because we find<br/> Your golden footprints, Love the boy,<br/> Dreams you are near . . . but Love is blind!<br/> Yet, surely Sorrow's arms unwind<br/> From this tired heart, and dark distress<br/> Fades softly . . . softly from the world:<br/> And in Hope's silver sky unfurled,<br/> I see the banners of delight!<br/> And the grey heaven of life grows bright<br/> With the red dawn of happiness . . .<br/> As with a laughing look Love flings<br/> His heavy crown of thorns away . . .<br/> Fair fortune, you are wild and coy,<br/> And ah! I fear you will not stay.<br/> But Love has caught you by the wings<br/> And radiant as Eurydice<br/> By her brave poet's song set free,<br/> I rush into the arms of joy!</p> <br/> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
