Ay, Workman, Make Me a Dream - meaning Summary
A Crafted Dream for Love
The speaker petitions a skilled maker to construct a dream for their beloved, asking that it be woven from sunlight, breezes, and flowers. The imagery of meadows frames an intentionally crafted, pastoral vision, suggesting longing for an idealized, gentle world. The final plea for "a man walking there on" introduces a human presence that completes the dream: a deliberately assembled scene meant to offer comfort, beauty, and possibly companionship.
