Tell Me

Tell me, where do dreams begin
            and when can I expect to win,
                     and what will help this tired contender.
I feel as though I can go no more,
            and my heart falls straight through the floor
                     at the thought of my surrender.
When will the keeper of my dreams
            spin into the horizon on golden beams
                     and cure this time and love misspender.
