Dream Voyageurs

Topics: classic

To ports of balm through isles of musk     The gentle airs are leading us;     To curtained calm and tents of dusk,     The wood-wild things unheeding us     Will share their hoards of hardihood,     Cool dew and roots of fern for food,     Frail berries full of the sun's blood.     To planets bland with dales of dream     A tranquil life is leading us,     We shall land from the languid stream,     The musing shades, unheeding us,     Will share their veils of angelhood,     Thoughts that are tranced with mystic food,     Still broodings tinct with a seraph's blood.
