Analysis of To Sleep Perchance to Dream
Melita Catalina Warren 1949 (Kansas)
Upon Parisian pool let us prance,
Blithe as an exuberant daisy.
Love at first right, perchance,
Thinking with a brain that is not hazy.
If fate grants us a fresh chance,
We promise not to be lazy.
Doing a breezy butterfly’s dance,
People will think we are all crazy!
