Sometimes Dreams Come True

Last night, dear heart, I dreamed I walked with you
On some far isle, where skies were deepest blue;
Beneath tall trees like a cathedral grand.
Slowly we walked together, hand in hand;
Softly you whispered to me o'er and o'er,
"You shall be with me, dear, forevermore."
One thing that gives me strength from day to day
To bear the long, long hours you are away;
To live the long, long days apart from you
Sometimes, beloved, sometimes dreams come true.
