Classic and Contemporary Poetry
THE DREAMER, by ELIZABETH S. NOBLE
First Line: O you who walk with vision-misted eyes
Last Line: To know how dull that life which dreams forsake.
First Line: O you who walk with vision-misted eyes
Last Line: To know how dull that life which dreams forsake.
O you who walk with vision-misted eyes
Among the pitfalls in your way, nor see
The darkness of the path, rose tinted skies
Arch high above your world. Your soul is free.
You do not feel the weariness of years
Beset with cares. With lofty moon-tipped spars
Your ship of dreams, its freight both mirth and tears
Sails onward to a port beyond the stars.
You see the beauty in each way-side flower;
You hear a melody in stirring leaves.
You catch the undertone in night's dark hour,
Of every little wind that, lonely, grieves
O you who dream, I pray you never wake
To know how dull that life which dreams forsake.
