Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFG HIJHH KLCM NIOC LPQLR NCHS TCMTGMUMT| My world is a painted fresco where coloured shapes | A |
| Of old ineffectual lives linger blurred and warm | B |
| An endless tapestry the past has women drapes | A |
| The halls of my life compelling my soul to conform | B |
| - | |
| The surface of dreams is broken | C |
| The picture of the past is shaken and scattered | D |
| Fluent active figures of men pass along the railway and I am woken | C |
| From the dreams that the distance flattered | D |
| - | |
| Along the railway active figures of men | E |
| They have a secret that stirs in their limbs as they move | F |
| Out of the distance nearer commanding my dreamy world | G |
| - | |
| Here in the subtle rounded flesh | H |
| Beats the active ecstasy | I |
| In the sudden lifting my eyes it is clearer | J |
| The fascination of the quick restless Creator moving through the mesh | H |
| Of men vibrating in ecstasy through the rounded flesh | H |
| - | |
| Oh my boys bending over your books | K |
| In you is trembling and fusing | L |
| The creation of a new patterned dream dream of a generation | C |
| And I watch to see the Creator the power that patterns the dream | M |
| - | |
| The old dreams are beautiful beloved soft toned and sure | N |
| But the dream stuff is molten and moving mysteriously | I |
| Alluring my eyes for I am I not also dream stuff | O |
| Am I not quickening diffusing myself in the pattern shaping and shapen | C |
| - | |
| Here in my class is the answer for the great yearning | L |
| Eyes where I can watch the swim of old dreams reflected on the molten metal of dreams | P |
| Watch the stir which is rhythmic and moves them all as a heart beat moves the blood | Q |
| Here in the swelling flesh the great activity working | L |
| Visible there in the change of eyes and the mobile features | R |
| - | |
| Oh the great mystery and fascination of the unseen Shaper | N |
| The power of the melting fusing Force heat light all in one | C |
| Everything great and mysterious in one swelling and shaping the dream in the flesh | H |
| As it swells and shapes a bud into blossom | S |
| - | |
| Oh the terrible ecstasy of the consciousness that I am life | T |
| Oh the miracle of the whole the widespread labouring concentration | C |
| Swelling mankind like one bud to bring forth the fruit of a dream | M |
| Oh the terror of lifting the innermost I out of the sweep of the impulse of life | T |
| And watching the great Thing labouring through the whole round flesh of the world | G |
| And striving to catch a glimpse of the shape of the coming dream | M |
| As it quickens within the labouring white hot metal | U |
| Catch the scent and the colour of the coming dream | M |
| Then to fall back exhausted into the unconscious molten life | T |
