Analysis of Another Dream
Letitia Elizabeth Landon 1802 (Chelsea) – 1838 (Cape Coast)
Oh ! never another dream can be
Like that early dream of ours,
When the fairy, Hope, lay down like a child,
And slept amid opening flowers.
Little we recked of our coming years,
We fancied them just what we chose;
For, whatever life's after lights may be,
It colours its first from the rose.
