Dreamt I of What Came to Me

    By Dan Tharp

    Falling asleep ''neath a cypress tree

    Falling asleep ''neath a cypress tree

    What variegated colors came calling to me

    What variegated colors came calling to me

    `Neath falling colors, asleep to me

    What came calling?... A variegated cypress tree

    I dreamt of ink in a well so deep

    I dreamt of ink in a well so deep

    As an envelope as full of words to eat

    As an envelope as full of words to eat

    In an envelope of words, I dreamt to eat

    Of ink as full as a well so deep

    So, away I went, to write of that told

    So, away I went, to write of that told

    Tears as joy, on paper to fold

    Tears as joy, on paper to fold

    That on paper to write, of joy told

    As tears went away... so I, to fold

    Joy as tears, full of words went to calling

    Ink as well, in an envelope a falling

    Variegated colors to eat of that told

    So, away I write on paper to fold

    As deep asleep, ''neath a cypress tree

    So, dreamt I... of what came to me
