THE POST-BOYS DREAM. 



THE POST-BOY'S DREAM. 



Asleep in his chair, the old post-boy is dreaming : 

 The dull town and houses have faded away ; 



The light of his life is now silently gleaming ; 

 The scenes of his youth make him happy and gay. 



He sees the long vista of roadway inclining 



Away by the river, away to the hill ; 

 He sees the old Inn, where red creepers are twining 



About the deep porch, and the far distant mill.
