If I Had but Two Little Wings

It is a romantic poem combining with fantasy and reality. In the 1st stanza the poet wishes to have bird wings or to be a bird with small feathers. So that he can fly and can meet his favourite one. But this desire of his is imaginary and idle thinking. So he came back to reality.

In the 2nd stanza the poet returns to the world of imagination through sleep. He wants to be with his favourite one through sleep. He wants to spend time alone. The world of fantasy is his own. Where no one will come to disturb him.But he comes back to reality by waking up. And find himself alone again.
