James Oppenheim
James Oppenheim (1882–1932), was an American poet, novelist, and editor. A lay analyst and early follower of C. G. Jung, Oppenheim was also the founder and editor of The Seven Arts, an important early 20th-century literary magazine.
He was a well-known writer of short stories and novels. His poetry followed Walt Whitman's model of free verse ruminations on "social and democratic aspects of life". Oppenheim depicted labor troubles with Fabian and suffragist themes in his novel, The Nine-Tenths (1911) and in his famous poem Bread and Roses (1911). The slogan Bread and Roses is now commonly associated with the pivotal 1912 textile workers' strike in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The poem was later set to music in 1976 by Mimi Fariña and again in 1990 by John Denver.
Oppenheim's published works include Monday Morning and Other Poems (1909); Pay Envelopes (1911); The Nine-Tenths(1911); The Olympian (1912); Idle Wives (1914); Songs For The New Age (1914); The Beloved (1915); War and Laughter (1916); The Book Of Self (1917); The Solitary (1919); The Mystic Warrior (1921); Golden Bird (1923); The Sea (collected poetry - 1924); Behind Your Front (1926); and American Types: A Preface To Analytic Psychology (1931). Additionally, he contributed short stories, articles, and poems to American Magazine, American Mercury, Century, Collier's, Freeman, Harper's, Hearst's, New Republic, and The Thinker.

When God Dreams
by: James Bonamy(P. Bunch/D. Johnson)
When God dreams
This world knows no hate
Every heart is innocent
Every child is safe
No need goes unattended
No soul goes unfreed
Yes I believe that's how it is
When God dreams
When God dreams
No one is ashamed
With each and every difference
We are all the same
Children of the Father
Keepers of the flame
Yes I believe that's who we are
When God dreams
If a tiny seed can grow to be
A mighty tree
And a tiny raindrop can flow into
A wild and raging sea
The I believe that our love can be
All that it should be
All we'll ever want
All we'll ever need
When God dreams
He sees you and I
And in peaceful sleep
He knows that we will never let love die
He's not afraid to close his eyes
Cause he loves what he sees
Yes I believe that's how it is
Oh I believe that's who we are
Well I believe that's how we love
When God dreams
I believe that's how we love
