I live in Australia and trying to find a poem believed to be by Walter de la Mare for a lady I just met today in a shop.
She has a brain tumor and cannot remember the full poem but loved it as a child and is keen to find the poem. I would like to be able to brighten her day by finding it for her and just searched on google with no success. I did find Walter de la Mare's website and your email address so here I am hoping you would be able to help me to help her find her childhood poem.
What she does remember goes something like this
"Late last night while the whole world slept, into the land of dreams I crept"
Thank you for any help you can give me

Hi
ReplyDeleteThe lines you quote appear to be from a poem called Memory by the Australian poet Zora Cross.
Late, late last night, when the whole world slept
Along to the garden of dreams I crept.
Hope this solves the puzzle.
