“Our
love is a dream, but in my reverie
I
can see that this love was meant for me …
My
dreams are as worthless as tin to me
Without
you, life will never begin to be
So
love me as I love you in my reverie
Make
my dreams a reality, let’s dispense with formality
Come
to me in my reverie …”
~ “My Reverie”
~ 1938 popular song, lyrics by Larry
Clinton, melody
based on 1890 piano piece “Reverie” by French classical composer Claude Debussy
~
recorded by artists including Bing Crosby, Glenn Miller, Eddie Duchin, Tony Bennett, Sarah Vaughn
& Ella Fitzgerald
Sweet
Black-capped Chickadee seems to be in its own winter reverie on a rare warm
February day at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
This
North American songbird is the symbol of Massachusetts, Maine and New
Brunswick, Canada.
