THE CRY OF THE DREAMER'

I am tired of the planning and toiling
In the crowded hives of men;
!Ieart-weary Of building and spelling,
And spelling and building again.
And 1 long for the dear old river,
Where I dreamed my youth away
For dreamer lives forever
And a toiler dies in day. ::
/ am sick of the snowy seeming
OF life that is half lie,
Of the faces lined with schemlng
In the throng that hurries by.
No, no; from the streets rude hustle,
From trophies from mart and stage,
would fly to the woods low rustic
And the meadows kindly page:
Let us dream as Of yore by the river,
And be loved for the dream alway-
Tor dreamer lives forever
And thinker dies in day.
