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. | |||
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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EPITAPH IN A CHURCH-YARD IN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA by AMY LOWELL IN THE SHADOWS: 20 by DAVID GRAY (1838-1861) THE RAINY SUMMER by ALICE MEYNELL REVELATION by ROBERT PENN WARREN BEAUTY by KENNETH SLADE ALLING FOR THOSE GROWING OLD by WINIFRED ADAMS BURR |
