<h2> THE WAY OF DREAMS </h2>
<p>Since I rose out of child-oblivion<br/>
I have walked in a world of many dreams,<br/>
And noble souls beside the shining streams<br/>
Of fancy have with beckonings led me on.<br/>
<br/>
Their faces oft, mayhap, I could not see,<br/>
Only their waving hands and noble forms.<br/>
Sometimes there sprang between quick-gathered storms,<br/>
But always they came back again to me.<br/>
<br/>
Women with smiling eyes and star-spun hair<br/>
Spake gentle things, bade me look back to view<br/>
The deeds of the great souls who climbed the stair<br/>
<br/>
Immortal, and for whom God’s manna grew:<br/>
Dante, Anacreon, Euripides,<br/>
And all who set rich wine upon the lees.<br/></p>
