<h2> VANISHED DREAMS </h2>
<p>Dreams, only dreams. They sprang from loneliness<br/>
Of outer life; from innermost desire<br/>
To reach the soul that now in golden fire<br/>
Of cherished song I pray for and caress.<br/>
<br/>
I wandered through the world with longing gaze,<br/>
To find her who was my hope’s parallel,<br/>
That to her I might all my gospel tell<br/>
Of changeless love, and bid her make appraise.<br/>
<br/>
I knew that some day I should look within<br/>
The ever-deepening distance of her eyes;<br/>
For, in my dreams, from veiled Seraphim<br/>
<br/>
Came one, as if in answer to my cries:<br/>
And passing near me, pointed down the road<br/>
That led me at the last to thy abode.<br/></p>
