Dreams.

our sweet illusions only die
Fulfilling loves sure prophecy,
And every wish for better things
An undreamed beauty nearer brings.
Flo fate is servitor Of love.
Desire and hope and loving prove
The score of immortal youth,
And nature cheats us into truth,
o kind allurers wisely sent.
Beguiling with benign intent,
Still move US through divine unrest
To seek the loveliest and the best.
Ere long the f~leeting glimpse OF good
Shall rest in full beatitude,
II more han all to earth denied
Shall greet US on the other side.
Whittier.
