Question: Name that poem!!?
My dad was asking me the other day about a poem he read years ago, wanted me to find out what it was called and who wrote it!. I'm thinking it's an English guy, seems kind of light weight so I wouldn't think Donne or Blake or one of those but I think the same era!. First lines go like this:
I dreamed a dream the other night,
I saw my love all dressed in white!.
All dressed in white like some fair bride,
She came to me at my bedside!.
That's all he remembers!. Can anyone help!? Web search isn't producing so far!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It could be a Scottish song!.
Lowlands
I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands, lowlands, away my John
I saw my love dressed all in white
My lowlands, away!.
She came to me at my bedside
Dressed all in white like some fair bride!.
And nestled in her bosom there
A red, red rose my love did wear!.
She made no sign, no word she said
And then I knew my love was dead!.
She waved her hand, she said goodbye
I wiped the tear from out my eye!.
And then awoke to hear the cry,
"Oh watch on deck! Oh watch ahoy"
I can't find an author or anything but this might be what you are looking for!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
