| WHO seeks the shore where dreams outpour | |
| Their floods in Slumber Seas | |
| Lives all night long within a song | |
| Of murmuring mysteries. | |
| |
| Where stars are lit above the pit | 5 |
| That holds the hollow dark, | |
| Into their dawn he shall sail on | |
| In an enchanted barque. | |
| |
| He shall not fear tho’ in his ear | |
| The thrusting cranks of Time, | 10 |
| Thro’ blaze and gloom, with crash and boom, | |
| Ring in tremendous rhyme, | |
| |
| Beyond the cloud that doth enshroud | |
| Saturn with beauteous bands, | |
| Where at the knees of Hyades | 15 |
| Creation claps her hands. | |
| |
| He shall bow low to God and know | |
| Keen sorrow and delight, | |
| The day’s full pride and eventide, | |
| The inmost thoughts of night. | 20 |
| |
| Into their calm white waves of balm | |
| His soul shall plunge and swim, | |
| Past silver-globed full moons unrobed | |
| That float round Heaven’s rim. | |
| |
| He shall bow low to God and know | 25 |
| God, and be known of Him; | |
| He shall surprise within the skies | |
| The watching Seraphim. | |
| |
| He shall be known about the Throne | |
| When names are named above, | 30 |
| As one redeemed through dreams he dreamed— | |
| As one Beloved of Love. | |
