Here you will find the Poem Was it the sun that broke my dream of poet Christopher John Brennan

Was it the sun that broke my dream

Was it the sun that broke my dream 
or was't the dazzle of thy hair 
caught where our olden meadows seem 
themselves again and yet more fair? 
Ah, sun that woke me, limpid stream, 
then in spring-mornings' rapture of air! 
Was it the sun that broke my dream 
or was 't the dazzle of thy hair? 
And didst not thou beside me gleam, 
brought hither by a tender care 
at least my slumbering grief to share? 
Are only the cold seas supreme?
Was it the sun that broke my dream?
