The call us poets dreamers-well,

But we've wealth of happiness
The world can never know
And, should we search the hearts OF those
Who thus the muse berate.
We'd find them full of seltishness,
OF vanity and hate -

Hoth made them heartless, cold and vain:
Sye scorn them with a deep disdain!
Then let them call us dreamers, while
They revel in their gains,
