If we dream that desire of the distance above
Should be fettered by fear of the shadows that seem,
If we wake, to be nought, but to hate to love us
If we dream,
Night sinks on soul, and the stars as they gleam
Speak menace mourning, with tongues to reprove us
That we deemed them better than terror may deem.
But if hope not lure us, if fear may not move us,
lightens the darkness wherein the supreme
Pure presence of shall assure us, and prove us
If we dream.
