When Brahm shall cease to dream,
The heavens and hell and earth,
That from his dream had birth,
That are not, only seem,
Shall vanish, like a faint and fugitive
CLEAN
Seen for a moment in the midnight sky!
The myth of mountain and of ample
plain,
OF joy and pain,
Of life that wars eternally with death,
Shall in breath,
Be wholly shattered, lastingly shall die.
When Man shall cease to dream,
Beauty will fall away and wholly pass!
(Beauty wherein, as in magic glass.
We, charmed, look and glimpse what ali

A faint reflection of divinest ThoughtD
Laughter will lose its music, joy and
Will silenced be the weary ages long;
Earth will like parchment shrivel and no

Will there be caught
From sea and sky and mount and shin
