THE DESTINY OF DREAMS, by                    
First Line: I dreamed that heaven was builded
Last Line: May be of beauty too!
Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares


I DREAMED that heaven was builded
Of fair thoughts gleaned on earth
To be new cast and gilded
In the mould of another birth.
And each bright hope we win here
Will find its true life there,
But every thought of sin here
Will make that heaven less fair.
O God, keep ever from us
All thoughts not bright and true,
That so the Land of Promise
May be of Beauty too!
