Calling Dreams
Geogia Douglas Jhonson (1880–1966)

The right to make my dreams come true,
I ask, nay, I dreamed of life,
Nor shall fate’s deadly contraband
impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years round,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!
