Pictures to the Wall + 

Shall I tell you of my old, old dreams + 

Lost at the earth’s strange turnings, + 

Some in the sea when the waves foamed high, + 

Some in a garret candle’s burnings? + 

Shall I tell you of bitter, forgotten dreams⁠— + 

You who are still so young, so young? + 

You with your wide brown singing eyes + 

And laughter at the tip of your tongue. + 

Shall I tell you of weary, weary dreams⁠— + 

You who have lost no dreams at all, + 

Or shall I keep quiet and let turn + 

My ugly pictures to the wall? + 
