An iridescent ray | B |
Flecked in between the tryst | C |
Of night and day | B |
Why fades a dream | A |
Of consciousness the shade | D |
Wrought out by lack of light and made | D |
Upon life's stream | A |
Why fades a dream | A |

That thought may thrive | E |
So fades the fleshless dream | A |
Lest men should learn to trust | F |
The things that seem | A |
So fades a dream | A |
That living thought may grow | G |
And like a waxing star beam glow | G |
Upon life's stream | A |
So fades a dream | A |
