Dream—Gold
You cannot by a word destroy my right
Of having that which is my life. Behold,
You have cast me into a pit, where fiends have tolled
A dirge for me and gathered in the night
To show my inner vision vanished light!
Agleam on vanished heaps of gems and gold,
A dazzling world of treasure, wealth untold!
I stretch my arms - it flashes out of sight.
Yet - by the might forces that combine
The universe of atoms - O, my saint!
You are enshrined within my soul, a quaint
Grotesque unstable tomb, yet music fine
Breathes ever where you lie, till grey time faint
In the stone arms of eternity, mine-mine!
