Here you will find the Poem I must be dreaming through the days of poet Lesbia Harford

I must be dreaming through the days

I must be dreaming through the days 
And see the world with childish eyes 
If I'd go singing all my life 
And my songs be wise 
And in the kitchen or the house 
Must wonder at the sights I see. 
And I must hear the throb and hum 
That moves to song in factory. 
So much in life remains unsung, 
And so much more than love is sweet. 
I'd like a song of kitchenmaids 
With steady fingers and swift feet. 
And I could sing about the rest 
That breaks upon a woman's day 
When dinner's over and she lies 
Upon her bed to dream and pray 
Until the children come from school 
And all her evening work begins. 
There's more in life than tragic love 
And all the storied, splendid sins.
