- The Last Dream by Charles J. Kickham.You never could be mine, lady,
I never wish you mine,
And yet I tremble now to take
Your image from its shrine
Its shrine within my heart lady,
Where many a hope lies dead
How dark that heart will be when thus
The last sweet dream has fled.That dream without a hope, lady,
But still how passing dear
Has shed its sunshine on my path
Through many a weary year.
Ah! Blame me not if grief should cast
Its shade upon my brow
And mingle with the joy I feel
That you are happy now.'Twere sweet to say remember me
And feel amid life's gloom
A loneliness that in thy heart
A thought of me might bloom.
'Twere gladly sweet to say farewell
To clasp thy hand and press
Upon thy cheek one parting kiss
A first and last caress.(continues on next page)
