I dreamed T was a sailor bo: High on a swaying mast ; My left foot slipped, I lost my grip. And T was falling fast.

And there were tigers all around, And snakes on every hand. A boa conmstrictor hugged me tight, So tight I could not scream— What joy it gave me to awake, And find it was a dream! And I have suffered other dreams, Which stood my hair on end, And filled me with a quaking dread, ©Of what they might portend.
