A Dream + 

Over known fields with an old friend in dream + 

I walked, but came sudden to a strange stream. + 

Its dark waters were bursting out most bright + 

From a great mountain’s heart into the light. + 

They ran a short course under the sun, then back + 

Into a pit they plunged, once more as black + 

As at their birth; and I stood thinking there + 

How white, had the day shone on them, they were, + 

Heaving and coiling. So by the roar and hiss + 

And by the mighty motion of the abyss + 

I was bemused, that I forgot my friend + 

And neither saw nor sought him till the end, + 

When I awoke from waters unto men + 

Saying: “I shall be here some day again.” + 
