Dreams are all lies ; those jetty shadows lie When the full moon doth crown the midnight sky ; But shadows image truth, and dreams come true, For when I wake my arms are full of you.

…ne ; We gather to the sombre sound, as spring Had whispered, ‘ Follow.’ hiding in her wing Her glorious head and flowing breast of wine. Though in the hollow of her heart be set So deep and awful a fire, though the net Of all her robes be frail as we are fine, We gather, listening to the living lyre Like falling water shot with amber fire, And blown aloft by winds even to heaven’s desire.
