Like a bold adventurous swain	A
Just a year ago to day	B
I launched my bark on a radiant main	A
And Hymen led the way	B
Breakers ahead he cried	C
As he sought to overwhelm	D
My daring craft in the shrieking tide	C
But Love like a pilot bold and tried	C
Sat watchful at the helm	D
	-
And we passed the treacherous shoals	E
Where many a hope lay dead	F
And splendid wrecks were piled like the ghouls	G
Of joys forever fled	F
Once safely over these	H
We sped by a fairy realm	D
Across the bluest and calmest seas	H
That were ever kissed by a truant breeze	H
With Love still at the helm	D
	-
We sailed by sweet odorous isles	I
Where the flowers and trees were one	J
Through lakes that vied with the golden smiles	I
Of heaven's unclouded sun	J
Still speeds our merry bark	K
Threading life's peaceful realm	D
And 'tis ever morn with our marriage lark	K
For the Pilot Love of our safety ark	K
Stands watchful at the helm	D

A beautiful land is the Land of Dreams	M
Green hills and valleys and deep lagoons	N
Swift rushing torrents and gentle streams	M
Glassing a myriad silver moons	N
Mirror like lakelets with lovely isles	I
And verdurous headlands looking down	O
On the Neread shapes whose smiles	I
Were worth the price of a peaceful crown	O
	-
We clutch at the silvery bars	P
Flung from the motionless stars	P
And climb far into space	Q
Defying the race	Q
Who ride in a rial cars	P
	-
We take up the harp of the mind	R
And finger its delicate strings	S
The notes soft and light	T
As a moonbeam's flight	T
Departing on viewless wings	S
Afar in some fanciful bower	U
Some region of exquisite calm	V
Where the starlight falls in a gleaming shower	U
We sink to repose	W
On our couch of rose	W
Inhaling no mortal balm	V
The worlds are no longer unknown	X
We pass through the uttermost sky	Y
Our eyelids are kissed	Z
By a gentle mist	Z
And we feel the tone	X
Of a calmer zone	X
As if heaven were wondrous nigh	Y
	-
A fanciful land is the Land of Dreams	M
Where earth and heaven are clasping hands	A2
No heaven no earth	B2
But one wide new birth	B2
Where Beauty and Goodness and human worth	B2
Make earth of heaven and heaven of earth	B2
And angels are walking on golden strands	A2
	-
And the pearly gates of the universe	C2
Of mind and fancy opening	D2
To the touch of the dainty finger tips	E2
Of elegant Peris with rose bud lips	E2
Delicate weird like sounds are born	F2
From the amber depths of odorous morn	F2
And spirits of beauty and light rehearse	C2
Such strains as the young immortals sing	D2
When the souls of the blest	G2
Are borne to their rest	G2
On luminous pinions of light serene	H2
To the fragrant bowers of evergreen	H2
O'er the rosy plains where the dying hours	I2
Are changed by a spell to celestial flowers	I2
Where the skies have a hue no name can express	J2
For the tone of their passionate loveliness	J2
Surpasseth all human imagining	D2
	-
Such was their beautiful Dream of Life	K2
Each stern reality softened down	O
Earth seemed to have ended her age of Strife	K2
And Harmony reigned her olive crown	O
Besting on the Parian brow	L2
Of the fair victor like the gleam	M2
Of the silvery moon on waves that flow	N2
Thoughtfully down the summer stream	M2
Such was their earnest Dream of Life	K2
Was it some angel with jealous eye	Y
Seeing such love beneath the sky	Y
As never yet in world or star	O2
Or spheral height that reached so far	O2
'Twas never beheld by mortal sight	T
	-
Or elsewhere save in highest heaven	J
Was duly earned or truly given	J
That leagued with the usurper Death	P2
To quench the light that shone so bright	T
That in all the earth there was not a breath	P2
So foul as to change their day to night	T
	-
Alone alone Oh word of fearful tone	X
Well might the moon withhold her light	T
The stars withdraw from human sight	T
When Love was overthrown	X
The Minstrel's heart how changed	Q2
Love's principalities	J2
O'er which he reigned supreme	M2
Usurped by earth's realities	J2
The realm through which he ranged	Q2
Become a vanished dream	M2
And yet he sung as sings	J2
The dying swan that droops its wings	J2
And drifts along the stream	M2
