Classic Poem

I dream'd I had a diamond mine
Ayont yon billowy sea,
An' a' thing rich, an' a' thing rare,
Was brought to pleasure me.
Earth's fairest things were at my gate
An' standing in my ha';
But forth I came in that proud hour
An' chose thee 'mang them a'.

I dream'd I was a powerful king,
Wi' servants at command, —
Ae word wad brought unto my knee
The brightest in the land;
But ne'er on palaced halls I look'd —
I hied me to the lea,
An', mair than crowns, a loving heart
I blithely gave to thee.

I woke, and was what I am now,
A man o' laigh degree, —
Nae wealth ha'e I — nae silken pomp —
Nor gather'd gowd to gi'e:
But I ha'e something yet to boast,
Ne'er bought wi' warld's gear, —
A heart that never failed a friend, —
And what wad ye ha'e mair?
