- 5. Once in thedream of a night I stood. Long in the light of a magical wood, Soul- deep in visions that poppy like sprang; And spirits of Truth were the birds that sang, And spirits of love were the stars that glowed, And spirits of peace were the streams that flowed In that magical wood in the land of sleep.
- 6. Stanza 1 description Inthe first seven lines, the poet describes ‘the magical wood’ she dreams of. In her imaginative world, the abstract values and ideas of truth, love and peace are embodied in tangible forms of nature. They are no more just abstract ideas, but are discernible and palpable objects with proper shape and size. In the poet’s dream, truth has transformed into singing birds, love into glowing stars and peace into flowing streams.
