In some faint dawn, In some dim eve, Like a gesture of Light, Like a dream of delight Thou comst nearer and nearer to me.
All this is a vast bioscope woven by the senses,
Choreographed by Nature's sublime skill;
To withdraw from it our only will
If we are to look upon the Reality's faces.
Forever the dreamer's most cherished dream,
Forever the thinking man's deepest thought,
Too far beyond the cosmos's fringeless rim,
Yet too close to be in the heart's yearning caught:
Ancient of Days,
Least trod of ways,
That which doth dim Heaven's brightest city
Is none but man's own immortality.
