Dreaming For Ever.
By Thomas Moore
Dreaming for ever, vainly dreaming, Life to the last, pursues its flight; Day hath its visions fairly beaming, But false as those of night. The one illusion, the other real, But both the same brief dreams at last; And when we grasp the bliss ideal, Soon as it shines, 'tis past. Here, then, by this dim lake reposing, Calmly I'll watch, while light and gloom Flit o'er its face till night is closing-- Emblem of life's short doom! But tho', by turns, thus dark and shining, 'Tis still unlike man's changeful day, Whose light returns not, once declining, Whose cloud, once come, will stay.
