THE DREAM AND THE DREAMER

The dead had their dreams

like we have ours,

and see what came of them?

Perhaps they gained them,

perhaps they slipped between fingers,

perhaps they were always out of reach;

but now that they are gone,

looking at their solitary graves,

looking at the empty places they left,

how can we know? For a dream

dies with the dreamer and is nevermore,

mortal the dream and the dreamer.
