SEEN ON THE SIDE
By HENRY EDWARD WARMER
The Dreamer.

VINO dreams large dreams-who reaches out
Into the Riddle and the Doubt.
And whose stripped soul stands on the brink
Where Superman begins think,
Dares undiscovered wilds of thought
Craps liGhtnngs from hopes heavens caught
And, daring, shapes them--all but breaks
Some stubborn mystery--and awakes
But he who dreams asJJoseph dreamed,
For whom some quickcninE light has cleaned,
who visions and whose faith believes
Things vaster than god achieves
That man who sends his soul afar
Into the paths OF strange star
Blazes the trail and marks the streams
To guide the Doer of his Dreams.
