He Whom a Dream Hath
1 Possessed.

He whom a dream hath possessed
knoweth no more OF doubling,
For mist and the blowing OF winds and
the mounting or words he scorns:
Not the sinuous speech OF schools he
hears, but a knightly shouting.
And never comes darkness down. yet
he greeteth a million morns.
He whom a dream hath possessed
knoweth no more OF roaming;
All the roads and the flowing or
waves and the speediest night he
knows,
But wherever his feet are set. his soul
Is forever homing,
And going, he comes, and coming he
heareth a call and goes.
He whom a dream hath possessed
knoweth no more OF sorrow,
At death and the dropping OF leaves
and the fading OF suns he smiles.
For a dream remembers no past and
scorns the desire or a morrow,
And a dream In a sea OF doom sets
surely the ultimate isles.
He whom a dream hath possessed
treads the impalpable marshes.
From the dust OF the days long road
he leaps to a laughing star.
And the ruin of worlds that fall he
views from eternal arches,
And rides Gods battlefield in a flash
ing and golden car.
