THE DREAMER.
We often hear some one say
that O. certain person is a dreamer,
II hindrance to progress and dead
to the world of deeds. With such
person the word dreamer sig
nifies droneT-a being having the
ability to consume, but lacking
the power to create; with the form
and features of a man, but with
out mans genius to act,
We are all dreamers by nature,
and turn doors only through ne
cessity and the desire. to express
our dreams.
No great deed was ever done
but after long and |
careful preparation on the part
of the doer; and no invention or
created work of art which has re-
suited in the permanent uplift
and betterment of the human race
has ever sprung to its full ma
turity at a single leap. Such last |
ing deeds come only as the result |
of a patient and devoted effort of |
body and mind. And all these |
deeds had a first inception, and !
were but dreams in the minds of |
their creators long before they |
were executed in stone and steel. !
They were lived out as dreams |
by the men who later made them
realities, and the dreamer who |
built them turned door. to prove
his dream. t,
oJeered by a. world that their
dreams have built, |
Scorned by the little mind.
Out in the realms of the unborn
years
Treasures of light they find;
Dwellers in clouds they explore
the heights,
And seek for the hidden
strea ms
Dreamers they are, but their
dreams come true,s an ~
For the world has been built
