    Clay
    I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls
    With vassals and serfs at my side
    And of all who assembled within those walls
    That I was the hope and the pride.
    I had riches too great to count, could boast
    Of a high ancestral name,
    But I also dreamt, which pleased me most,
    That you loved me still the same.
