A DREAMER

ARTHUR GUITERMAN
He is a dreamer, let him pass
He reads the writing in the grass His seing soul in rapture goes Beyond the beauty of the rose. He is a dreamer, and doth know To sound the furthest depth woe; His days are calm, majestic, free; He is a dreamer, let him be.
He is a dreamer; all the day
Blest visions find him on his way; Past the far sunset, and the light, Beyond the darkness and the night. He is a dreamer; God to be,
Apostle of infinity,
And mirror touch’s translucent gleam. He is a dreamer, let him dream.
He is a dreamer; for all the time
His mind is married unto rhyme, Light that ne’er was on land or sea Hath blushed to him in Poetry.
He is a dreamer, and bath caught Close to his heart a hope, a thought, A hope of immortality;
He is a dreamer, let him be.
He is a dreamer, lo! with thee
His soul doth weep in sympathy;
He is a dreamer, and doth long
To glad the world with happy song.
He is a dreamer; in a breath
He dreams of love, and life, and death. Oh, man! Oh, woman! lad and lass
He is a dreamer, let him pass.
